Origineel
Laughing boy (ha ha ha ha ha)
That’s what they used to call you
Before you found a new love to take my place
(ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha)
Laughing boy (ha ha ha ha ha)
That’s what they used to call you
You always wore a smile upon your face
(ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha)
But as I look at you now, I know that somehow
The smile you’re wearing is untrue
Laughing boy (laughing boy), I think you’re blue
Your new love (your new love)
She really must have hurt you
She really must have filled your heart with pain
‘Cause I know you well (know you well)
And you could never fool me
I know that somehow you’re not the same
(la la la la la la la la)
As I look at you now, I know that somehow
When you say you’re happy, you’re lying
Laughing boy (laughing boy), I believe you’ve been crying
(la la la la la la la la)
Don’t you know that it’s true, I still love you
Just as much as I did before
So laughing boy (come on home)
Come on home, laughing boy (come on home)
Come on home, laughing boy (come on home)
And smile once more
Vertaling
Lachende jongen (ha ha ha ha ha)
Dat is hoe ze je noemden
Before you found a new love to take my place
(ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha)
Laughing boy (ha ha ha ha ha)
Zo noemden ze je vroeger
You always wore a smile on your face
(ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha)
But as I look at you now, I know that somehow
De glimlach die je draagt niet waar is
Lachende jongen (lachende jongen), ik denk dat je blauw bent
Je nieuwe liefde (je nieuwe liefde)
Ze moet je echt pijn gedaan hebben
Ze moet echt je hart gevuld hebben met pijn
Want ik ken je goed (ken je goed)
And you could never fool me
I know that somehow you’re not the same
(la la la la la la la la)
As I look at you now, I know that somehow
When you say you’re happy, you’re lying
Laughing boy (lachende jongen), I believe you’ve been crying

Weet je niet dat het waar is, ik hou nog steeds van je
Net zo veel als ik vroeger deed
Dus lachende jongen (kom naar huis)
Kom naar huis, lachende jongen (kom naar huis)
Kom naar huis, lachende jongen (kom naar huis)
En lach nog eens
