Lyrics Shirley Bassey

Shirley Bassey

Only When I Laugh

So, it's finally over

Had to happen, but no big deal.

After all of that, off again and on

What else is new?

Well, I say, will you catch me crying? Not this kid

Will I soon forget you? I just did

Does it really hurt me? Only When I Laugh

Is my heart finally numb yet?

Yeah, I don't think I feel one thing

After too long of running cold and hot

And cold, you end up blue

So, I'll just change things on my mailbox, suits me fine

And since you've gone on your way, I'll go mine

Does it really hurt me? Only When I Laugh

Every time I fell in love

I never fell completely

The joke is, I was saving something

For the person that I thought was you

Well, I guess I was dreaming

Glad the fantasy's dead and gone

And if my mind keeps running back and forth

And back and forth don't take that as a clue

It was a minor operation, I pulled through

Opened up my life and took out you

My only scar's a heart that's neatly torn in half

Does it really hurt me? Only When I Laugh
