I know it's a joke  Another game  A little fun can ease the pain  It's all well and good to be the fool  As long as tears can touch you too.    You laugh when I cry  To make me smile  You tell me everything's alright  I mean what I say it's humouless  My love for you is serious, so serious.    I'm a lover  A heart like any other  I see the same in you  Let me into the half you hold on to    Tragic comedy  It's all too true  As close as I can get to you    I want to come in  But I'm not sure  In case you hide behind the door  Enough is enough I can't ignore  It isn't funny anymore, anymore    I'm a lover  A heart like any other  I see the same in you  Let me into the half you hold on to    Tragic comedy  It's all too true  As close as I can get to you  Tragic comedy  Keep us in two  As close as I can get to you    Let go of all your make believe  Before you lose your dignity  I pray that humour sees you through  The tables turning round on you    As close as I can get to you
