You Must Be Laughing Lyrics

You told me you were coming back

A long, long time ago

But now it seems you have other plans

I think there are a lot of things

That I don't really know

I can't pretend to understand

It looks to me as though my destiny is lying in your hands

When you think of how easy

It was for me to be taken in

You must be laughing, you must be laughing

When you think of how easy

It was for you to destroy my dreams

You must be laughing, you must be laughing

And now when I look back

A long, long time ago

God knows I was so naïve

It seems that your love for me

Was just for show

In fact, you always planned to leave

Plotting to deceive

But I believed what I wanted to believe

When you think of how easy

It was for me to be taken in

You must be laughing, you must be laughing

When you think of how easy

It was for you to destroy my dreams

You must be laughing, you must be laughing

Now my fingers have been burned

You told me you would stay

Now my lessons have been learned

I learned them the hard way

When you think of how easy

It was for me to be taken in

You must be laughing, you must be laughing

When you think of how easy

It was for you to destroy my dreams

You must be laughing, you must be laughing

(Laughing)
