Make-up 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 

Refrein:
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 

Refrein

Now it won't be easy 
Finding words to say 
how you really feel inside 
You take the game away

Refrein

One day it's gonna shake you up 
Take you by surprise 
Someday it's gonna wake you up 
Tears in your eyes
