Who Has The Last Laugh Now
Bloodstone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You may laugh (you may laugh, ha, ha)
When you see me crying (when you see me crying) (when you see me crying)
Oh, you gonna laugh, when I tell you, goodbye

I've tried to do all I could to make this love last
Now I'm looking for my future
Get it all in my past
Won't you tell me
Who has the last laugh now

I really wanna know
You remember (you remember)
When you tell your friends
That your man, your righteous old man
Is gone crying again

Oh, but what will you say
If I never set foot on your door again
What will you tell your friends then
Will you tell me
Who has the last laugh now

I wanna know, I wanna know
Who has the last laugh
I wanna know

You may laugh, you may laugh, you may laugh
When you tell your friends
But, oh you gonna laugh (oh you gonna laugh)
If I never set foot on your door again

Oh, I have tried to do all I could
To make our love last
I've got to look upon my future
Forget all my past
Oh, I want to tell you (tell me)
Who has the laugh last now

I wanna know, I wanna know
Who has the last laugh
Oh I bet you know

When I was good to you
You used to laugh at me




Now I have to let you know
That I have to let you go

Them boys back in da dizzay was spitting fire!
