Don't Laugh Now

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
