I laugh, I hold you in my arms.
I laugh, I say I need you.
I laugh, you'll call me on the phone and do just what I want to.

I don't know if your coy, or so in love you just can't see.
I Laugh because I don't need you, but know that you need me.

I smile, I look into your eyes.
I smile, I kiss your cheek.
I smile, you'll fill with happiness, when really you're so weak.

I don't know how long it will take, before I quit this game.
I smile because you want me, and you think I feel the same.

One day I'll turn and walk away, pretending that I'm sad.
Or maybe I will start a quarrel, then leave and say I'm mad.
No matter what the reason, when that time comes, I will go.
And though you'll think I cared for you, I'll never let you know.

That I cried, I sat home all alone.
I cried, I called your name.
I cried, your love burned strong and good, yet my heart could find no flame.

I don't know if I'll ever find another love so true.
I cried because you loved me so, and I did not love you.
