Everyone who sees you
Thinks you should be smilin'
"That girl, she's so pretty
That girl, she's so beguilin'"
Everyone who sees you
Thinks you should be happy
Thinks you should coo-coo her
And start actin' all sappy
But it's hard to laugh
When you know that she's been cheatin'
Had her hands around him
And she's been givin' it a beatin'
Well it's hard to laugh
When you know that she's been lyin'
But you've got to laugh
To prevent yourself from cryin'
People always asks you
Why you're so serious
'Cause your woman's got a body
That would make most men delirious
Yeah, she's got a body
Of that you're painfully aware
'Cause every time you see it
You wanna pull out your hair
But you know it's hard to laugh
When you know that she's been cheatin'
Had her hands around him
And she's been givin' it a beatin'
Well, it's hard to laugh
When you know that she's been lyin'
But you've got to laugh
To prevent yourself from cryin'
Hard to laugh
When you know that she's been cheatin'
Had her hands around him
And she's been givin' it a beatin'
Well, it's hard to laugh
When you know that she's been lyin'
But you've got to laugh
To prevent yourself from cryin'
Hard to laugh
When you know that she's been cheatin'
Had her hands around him
She's been givin' it a beatin'
Well, it's hard to laugh
When you know that she's been lyin'
But you've got to laugh
To prevent yourself from cryin'
Hard to laugh
Hard to laugh
Hard to laugh
