Can anyone help me find the name of this particular oldies song sung by a man. I know part of the lyrics go something like "you took me by surprise.....i never realized...." Another part of the song goes "you took away everything......" I am pretty sure the song is from either the 60's or 70's but I can not find it anywhere. Thanks for your help.
You Beat Me to the Punch?
'Laughing' by The Guess Who
schlemm, I think it's got to be
Laughing
The Guess Who
I should laugh, but I cry,
Because your love has passed me by.
You took me by surprise;
You didn't realize
That I was waiting.
Time goes slowly, but carries on.
And now the best years have come and gone.
You took me by surprise,
I didn't realize
That you were laughing.
(Laughing)
?'Cause you're doin' it to me.
(Laughing)
It ain't the way it should be.
You took away ev'rything I had.
You put the hurt on me.
I go alone now, calling your name.
After losing at the game.
You took me by surprise;
I didn't realize
That you were laughing.
(Laughing)
?'Cause you're doin' it to me.
(Laughing)
It ain't the way it should be.
You took away ev'rything I had.
You put the hurt on me.
(Laughing)
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
(Laughing)
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Er, what doglover said....
No i don't believe that is the song. The lyrics to the song go something like "you took me by surprise.....i never realized....(and i think from here he says something like "you lied to me")
Then, I think the chorus goes something like "nah nah nah.....you took away everything....."
Sorry, I posted that before I read your responses. That is the song I am looking for, laughing by the guess who. Thanks for all your help. For a newcomer, I am really impressed by your quick responses to my question.
A pleasure, schlemm, stick around.
