[Chorus:] It's just my funny way of laughin' Yes, my funny way of laughin' Your leavin' didn't bother me It's just my funny way of laughin' Yes, my funny way of laughin' I'm really happy as can be If you see me with a great big smile At some party where the fun runs wild If tears start to flow and I fall apart Please don't think you broke my heart [Chorus] If we meet on the street And a little bitta tear rolls down my cheek Please don't think it's because I'm blue Or that I'm still in love with you [Chorus] Remember the day you left our place And how the tears rolled down my face It wasn't because you were leavin' me I was happy because you were pleasing me [Chorus] (funny way of laughin', laughin') (funny way of laughin', laughin')
