Everybody's Laughing

Billie Holiday

Compositor: Ben Oakland / Sammy Lerner

Everybody's laughing
Yes everybody's laughing
They know that you and I are through
And everybody's laughing
I told the world you loved me
And bragged about it proudly
But since they know it's over
They're laughing at me loudly.

People love to linger
So they can point a finger
And tear apart a gal whose heart
Was taken through the wringer
It we could start all over
The laugh might be on them
But meanwhile
Everybody's laughing
It we could start all over
The laugh might be on them
But meanwhile
Everybody's laughing
