Makeup on your shoulder silence in the air Tonight those telltale signs are everywhere As you lay beside her talkin' 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 workin' 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 lookin' great You can talk of love but it may be too late You may think she's jokin' as her laughter teems But with tears And laughter turns to screams When laughter turns to tears Laughter turns to tears 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
