Make up on your shoulder
Silence in the air
Tonight those telltale signs are everywhere
As you lay beside her talking in your dreams
The game is up and laughter turns to tears

Every time you phone her with a dumb excuse
She starts to think that she's outgrown her use
You'll be home by midnight working late it seems
The penny drops and laughter turns to tears

Do you think she's crazy?
Don't you think she knows?
Do you think she's taken in?
Don't you think it shows?

When laughter turns to tears
Laughter turns to tears

You can send her roses
Say she's looking great
You can talk of love but it may be too late
You may think she's joking as her laughter teems
But with tears and laughter turns to screams

Do you think she's crazy?
Don't you think she knows?
Do you think she's taken in?
Don't you think it shows?

Now it won't be easy
Finding words to say
How you really feel inside
You take the game away

When laughter turns to tears
Laughter turns to tears

One day it's gonna shake you up
Take you by surprise
Someday it's gonna wake you up
Tears in your eyes

When laughter turns to tears
Laughter turns to tears
When laughter turns to tears
Laughter turns to tears
