The Early Years - Part 1 (1935-1938)
Oh love, you're just a laugh
And the smile I wear is the aftermath
You no longer care; love you're just a laugh
But the joke is on me!

Oh it's so funny, how could you forget
Things I still believe? I can hear you yet
Letting off your steam; love you're just a laugh
But the joke is on me!

How could you employ my lovin'
Then destroy my love when you were through with me?
You were only bidin' time, until somebody new
Could be made a fool by you!

And what I thought would last
Faded with the plan, we two were the cast
Cupid played the plan, love you're just a laugh
But the joke is on me!

How could you employ my lovin'
Then destroy my love when you were through with me?
You were only bidin' time, until somebody new
Could be made a fool by you!

Oh, what I thought would last
Faded with the plan, we two were the cast
Cupid played the plan, love you're just a laugh
But the joke is on me!
