You Cannot Laugh Alone - Smokey Robinson

Why did I have to see you again

I’m just getting you and me

It’s too soon to be

Standing this close to you at a party

Laughing, pretending to be glad

Called a spade a spade

'Cause inside the joke

That you’re telling

No one is laughing

Even you let me in on it

What’s so funny?

You cannot laugh alone

That smile is not your own

Your love was crackerjack

A prize in every bag

A sugarcoated love

What dreams are made out of

A myth, a fantasy

That no one will identify or pay for

A mystery left sitting on your front door

Throw it out of your mind

What you’re thinking

Isn’t worth wasting our time

What’s the point in it?

Pretty eyes, softer tears

Strike a pose and push your hair

Back behind your ears

Sit up in your chair like a lady

You cannot laugh alone

That smile is not your own

Your love was crackerjack

It’s a prize in every bag

A sugarcoated love

What dreams are made out of

A myth, a fantasy

Your love was crackerjack

It’s a prize

Your love was crackerjack

Your love was crackerjack

Oh, baby

'Cause your love was crackerjack
