The Last Laugh's Mine

The Last Laugh’s Mine    

I believe that I just heard the slamming of the door

The way I heard it slam a dozen times before

But this time there won’t be no tears in my eyes

You might be leaving, but it’s me that’s saying good-bye

So don’t expect me here when you return

You play with fire baby, you’re gonna burn

Looks like we’re gonna play this game one more time

You might think the laugh’s on me,

But the last laugh’s mine

Now I’m not saying everything has always been bad

Someday I’ll realize you were the best thing I ever had

After all you showed me everything I didn’t need

Gave me time to find myself, someone I believe

So don’t expect me here when you return

You play with fire baby, you’re gonna burn

Looks like we’re gonna play this game one more time

You might think the laugh’s on me,

But the last laugh’s mine

See all those nights you were running around

You weren’t the only one who painted up the town

While you were looking for those one night stands

I found someone to love me just the way I am

The way I am

So don’t expect me here when you return

You play with fire baby, you’re gonna burn

Looks like we’re gonna play this game one more time

You might think the laugh’s on me,

But the last laugh’s mine
