Laughter, laughter, laughter Laughter, laughter, laughter, baby
I'm happy-go-lucky With a smile on my face
No heartache, no despair Sorrow, there's not a trace
At least that's what the people mean Because that's the way it appears
But after the laughter After the laughter
After the laughter comes the tears
My friends often tell me I feel the person is yet to be seen
Because they don't see me Doing those hours in between
When I sat around thinking of you And the minutes seemed like years
After the laughter After the laughter
After the laughter comes the tears
My life's been cheated and completed When you walked out the door
You hurt me, then desert me And I find myself alone once more
But I go on living My life's a masquerade
No one will ever know This part I've often played
And until someone comes along My crying interferes
And after the laughter After the laughter
After the laughter After the laughter
Comes the tears Yeah, baby, after the laughter
After the laughter, baby After the laughter
