Don't Laugh Now

(アルバム： Don't Laugh Now - 1982)

We've known each other since we were in school
You always thought I was a crazy fool
'Guess everyone thinks I'm quite a clown, yeah, the life of the party, fun to have around
You won't believe I'm serious with what I'm about to say
I know it's out of character for me to act this way, but

Don't laugh now, 'cause I'm in love with you
Don't laugh now, I know you could never love me too
And I don't mean to embarrass you by letting my feelings show
It's not like me to let you see me lose my self control
Don't laugh now, wait'll I leave
Just this once forgive me for wearing my heart on my sleeve
But I couldn't hold it any longer
I just had to let you know
Don't laugh now, wait'll I go
Don't laugh now, wait'll I go

You had a lot of sweethearts and I watched you love 'em
You had a lot of friends and I was just one of 'em
Someone to pick you up when love would go wrong
Help you through the rough times when you were all alone
All those many nights I held you and you never knew what I was feeling in my deepest heart for you
A cornball, paliachi, who has no right to say the foolish words I blurted out today

Don't laugh now, 'cause I'm in love with you
Don't laugh now, I know you could never love me too
And I don't mean to embarrass you by letting my feelings show
It's not like me to let you see me lose my self control
Don't laugh now, wait'll I leave
Just this once forgive me for wearing my heart on my sleeve
But I couldn't hold it any longer
I just had to let you know
Don't laugh now, wait'll I go
Don't laugh now, wait'll I go
