Everyone who sees you

Thinks you should be smilin'

?That girl, she's so pretty

That girl, she's so beguilin'?

Everyone who sees you

Thinks you should be happy

Thinks you should coo-coo her

And start actin' all sappy

But it's hard to laugh

When you know that she's been cheatin'

Had her hands around him

And she's been givin' it a beatin'

Well it's hard to laugh

When you know that she's been lyin'

But you've got to laugh

To prevent yourself from cryin'

People always asks you

Why you're so serious

'Cause your woman's got a body

That would make most men delirious

Yeah, she's got a body

Of that you're painfully aware

'Cause every time you see it

You wanna pull out your hair

But you know it's hard to laugh

When you know that she's been cheatin'

Had her hands around him

And she's been givin' it a beatin'

Well, it's hard to laugh

When you know that she's been lyin'

But you've got to laugh

To prevent yourself from cryin'

Hard to laugh

When you know that she's been cheatin'

Had her hands around him

And she's been givin' it a beatin'

Well, it's hard to laugh

When you know that she's been lyin'

But you've got to laugh

To prevent yourself from cryin'

Hard to laugh

When you know that she's been cheatin'

Had her hands around him

She's been givin' it a beatin'

Well, it's hard to laugh

When you know that she's been lyin'

But you've got to laugh

To prevent yourself from cryin'

Hard to laugh

Hard to laugh

Hard to laugh
