I'm Gonna Laugh You Out Of My Life
King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson
Laugh, and forget this affair
Guess i was foolish
To care.
So i'm gonna dance you right out of my dreams,
Try to be carefree and gay
I guess i'll learn to play
The part.
'cause when our friends begin that
Heartless rumor,
I know i'll really need my
Sense of humor.
I'm gonna laugh you right out of my life,
Make it a beautiful joke.
No one will know you broke
My heart.
But if i find you and i
Really meant that last goodbye,
Then i'm gonna laugh so hard,
I'll cry.
~interlude~
But if i find you and i
Really meant that last goodbye,
Then i'm gonna laugh so hard...
I'll cry.
