Well you got a new job, they pay you to be sad
And some times you get twice as much when you're mad
Once and a while you smile, but that's triple pay
If you could always only laugh that way
In every house at night
In every corner of the world
Man and woman try to do all the same things
But it's not always entertaining
Now you don't like it much but that doesn't matter
You're missing the ball and honey guess who's the batter
You charmed them with giggles when you signed up that day
If you could always only laugh that way
In every house at night
In every corner of the world
Man and woman try to do all the same things
But it's not always entertaining
And now the stage is set, the curtains are in flames
You're staring at each other trying to decide who's to blame
The director disappeared he's not going to tell you what to do
And everybody else is just watching they all want to know too
But it's time to honor your contract at your own expense
Your co-star's still playing the secretarty of defense
If you could make him crack a laugh just might save the day
If you could always only laugh that way (x3)
Laugh that way...
