The Whole Town'S Laughing At Me

(The whole town's laughing at me)
Yeah, hmm-mm

I had your love right here in the palm of my hands
And I lost it, and I lost it
Had a love so real, one a man can feel
And I lost it, and I lost it

Maybe if I had spent more time with you
Maybe then, maybe then you'd still be mine
Oh, and only if I had been just a little more kind to you
There'd be no need (no, no) for this man (oh, no) to be crying

The whole town's laughing at me (the whole town's laughing at me)
Yes, they are, yeah
(Silly fool, how'd you lose such a good friend?)

Had my dream so near, I could reach out and touch it (I could touch it)
And I lost it (and I lost it) and I lost it
Had a world complete (ooh, so sweet)
It was, oh, so sweet (and I lost it)
And I lost it (I lost it)
And I lost it

Maybe if I had spent just a little more time with you
Maybe then, maybe then you'd still be mine, oh
And only if I had been just a little more kind to you
There'd be no need (yeah) for this man (oh, why) to be crying (oh, why)

The whole town's laughing at me
(The whole town's laughing at me) yes, they are
Why, why?
Silly fool (silly fool) how'd you lose (how'd you lose) such a good friend? Oh

Maybe if I had spent more time with you
Maybe then, maybe then you'd still be mine, baby, might think about it
And only if I had been just a little more kind to you
There'd be no need (there'd be no need)
For this man (for this man) to be crying (no, no)
You don't know what they are saying, baby, oh no

(The whole town's laughing at me)
Why, sorry, baby (silly fool) silly fool
(How'd you lose) how'd you lose, how'd you lose (such a good friend?)
The whole town laughing (the whole town's laughing at me) oh, no
You don't know what they are saying about me, no you don't
(Silly fool, how'd you lose such a good friend?) No, why, why, why?

Oh (the whole town's laughing at me) hey-hey, yeah
Oh, I can't stand what they're saying, baby, no, baby
(Silly fool, how'd you lose such a good friend?) No, no
But the funny thing about is that I, that I
