That's what they used to call you 
 Before you found a new love to take my place 
 (Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha) 
 Laughing Boy (ha ha ha ha ha) 
 That's what they used to call you 
 You always wore a smile upon your face 
 (Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha) 
 But as I look at you now, I know that somehow 
 The smile you're wearing is untrue 
 Laughing Boy (Laughing Boy), I think you're blue 
  
 Your new love (your new love) 
 She really must have hurt you 
 She really must have filled your heart with pain 
 'Cause I know you well (know you well) 
 And you could never fool me 
 I know that somehow you're not the same 
 (La la la la la la la la) 
 As I look at you now, I know that somehow 
 When you say you're happy, you're lying 
 Laughing Boy (Laughing Boy), I believe you've been crying 
  
 (instrumental) 
  
 (La la la la la la la la) 
 Don't you know that it's true, I still love you 
 Just as much as I did before 
 So Laughing Boy (come on home) 
 Come on home, Laughing Boy (come on home) 
 Come on home, Laughing Boy (come on home) 
 And smile once more
