Whole Town's Laughing at Me

Teddy Pendergrass

The whole town's laughing at me

Yeah, I had your love right here
In the palm of my hands
And I lost it and I lost it
Had a love so real, when a man can truly feel
And I lost it and I lost it

And maybe if I had spent more time with you
Maybe then, maybe then you'd still be mine
Oh and only if I had been just a little more kind to you
There'd be no need, for this man to be cryin'

The whole town's laughing at me, yes they are
Silly fool, how'd you lose such a good thing?

The whole town's laughing at me
Silly fool, how'd you lose such a good thing?

Had my dream so near
I could reach out and touch it (I could touch it)
But I lost it (and I lost it)
Oh Lord, I lost it
Had a world complete
It was, oh, so sweet
(And I lost it) and I lost it
(I lost it)
Oh Lord, I lost it

And maybe if I had spent just a little more time with you
Maybe then, maybe then you still be mine, alright
And only if I had been more, more kind to you
There'd be no need, for this man to be cryin'

The whole town is laughing at me, yes they are
I know what they're saying, baby
(Silly fool, how'd you lose such a good thing?)

The whole town is laughing at me
Oh no, I don't like what they're saying
(Silly fool, how'd you lose such a good thing?)

Oh, alright
Well

And maybe if I had spent more, more time with you
See maybe then, maybe then you still be mine
And I might not have to think about it
And only if I had been more kind to you
See, there'd be no need, for this man to be cryin'

The whole town's laughing at me
Yes they are
Silly fool, how'd you lose such a good thing?
The whole, whole town's laughing at me
I don't like what they're saying about me
Silly fool, how'd you lose such a good thing?
The whole town's laughing at me (alright)
Silly fool, how'd you lose such a good thing? (well, well, well)
