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       chorus       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 x2
