Laughing

The Guess Who

Written by Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings



- peaked at #10 in 1969



I should laugh, but I cry

Because your love has passed me by

You took me by surprise

You didn't realize that I was waiting



Time goes slowly but carries on

And now the best years have come and gone

You took me by surprise

I didn't realize that you were laughing



Laughing -- the things you're doin' to me

Laughing -- that ain't the way it should be

You took away everything I had

You put the hurt on me



Laughing -- the things you're doin' to me

Laughing -- that ain't the way it should be

You took away everything I had

You put the hurt on me



I go alone now, calling your name

After losing at the game

You took me by surprise

I didn't realize that you were laughing



Time goes slowly, but carries on

And now the best years, the best years have come and gone

You took me by surprise

I didn't realize, that you were laughing



Laughing -- the things you're doin' to me

Laughing -- that ain't the way it should be

You took away everything I had

You put the hurt on me



Laughing -- the things you're doin' to me

Laughing -- oh, what you're doin' to me

You took away everything I had

You put the hurt on me



Oo!

Laughing -- ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

Laughing -- ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

Laughing -- well, you're laughin' at me

Laughing -- well, you're laughin' at me

Laughing -- oh, what you're doin' to me, girl

Laughing -- I'm a-lookin', you're laughin'

Laughing -- I'm a-lookin', you're laughin'

Laughing -- you're a-lookin', I'm a-laughin'

Laughing -- laughin' at me

Laughing -- ah, but you're a-laughin', baby
