I took your love and said, "Goodbye"
Stayed away, my darling and made you cry
If you turn me away, yeah yeah, all I can say
Is that two wrongs don't make a right

I broke your heart, you know it's true
Now I'm back begging you
Not to turn me away 'cause all I can say
Is that two wrongs don't make a right

Now is your chance to do me wrong
And to tell me that this is the end
Now, my darling, if you can forgive until the longest day I live
I'll never make that same mistake again

I took your love and said goodbye
I stayed away, my darling and made you cry
'Cause if you turn me away baby, yeah yeah, all I can say
Is that two wrongs don't make a right

Please don't turn me away baby, 'cause all I can say
Is that two wrongs don't make a right
You know if you turn, you just turn me away, all I can say
Is that two wrongs don't make a right

You had the sweetest boy in the world
Without a doubt you were the envy of every girl
You're the kind that's never satisfied
You want every boy to pass you by
But the tables turned (the tables turned)
'Cause his words tell you're done
Now the hurts on you
Your little scheme backfired, it's true
You thought it was fun to make the boys run

[Chorus:]
You lost the sweetest boy that you had that time
The sweetest boy that you had

'Cause now he's hangin' around my door
More happier than before
Now you're in misery 'cause you lost him to me
Now the hurts on you, now the hurts on you
Your little scheme backfired, it's true
You made bets, any boy you could get

[Chorus]

(Oh yeah)
(Oh yeah)
(Oh yeah)
(Oh yeah)

Yes, your loss is my gain
'Cause straight into my arms he came
You want every boy to pass you by
Now the hurts on you, now the hurts on you
Your little scheme backfired, it's true
Now tears of regret just covered your face

[Chorus]

Laughing boy (Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)
That's what they used to call you
Before you found a new love to take my place
(Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)
Laughing boy (Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)
That's what they used to call you
You always wore a smile upon your face
(Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)
But as I look at you now, I know that somehow
The smile you're wearing is untrue
Laughing boy (Laughing boy), I think you're blue

Your new love (Your new love)
She really must have hurt you
She really must have filled your heart with pain
'Cause I know you well (Know you well)
And you could never fool me
I know that somehow you're not the same
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
As I look at you now, I know that somehow
When you say you're happy, you're lying
Laughing Boy (Laughing boy), I believe you've been crying

(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Don't you know that it's true, I still love you
Just as much as I did before
So laughing boy (Come on home)
Come on home, laughing boy (Come on home)
Come on home, laughing boy (Come on home)
And smile once more

Well, I've got two lovers, and I ain't ashamed,
Two lovers and I love them both the same.
Let me tell you 'bout my first lover.
He's sweet and kind and he's mine all mine.
He treats me good like a lover should and makes me love him,
I really, really love him,
Oh, I love him so,
And I'll do ev'rything I can to let him know.

Well, I've got two lovers, and I ain't ashamed,
Two lovers and I love them both the same.
Let me tell you 'bout my other lover.
He treats me bad, makes me sad,
Makes me cry but sill I can't deny that I love him,
I really, really love him,
Oh I love him so,
And I'll do ev'rything I can to let him know.

Darling, Well, Don'tcha know that I can tell whenever I look at you,
That you think that I'm untrue,
'Cause I said that I love two,
But I really, really do.
'Cause you're a split personality.
And in reality, both of them are you.

Well, I've got two lovers, and I ain't ashamed,
Two lovers and I love them both the same.
Well, I've got two lovers, and I ain't ashamed,
Two lovers and I love them both the same.
Well, I've got two lovers, and I ain't ashamed,

When I became of age my mother called me to her side,
She said,"Son, you're growing up now pretty soon you'll take a bride.
And then she said, "Just because you've become a young man now,
There's still somethings that you don't understand now,
Before you ask some girl for her hand now
Keep your freedom for as long as you can now."

My mama told me, "You better shop around, (shop, shop)
Oh yeah, you better shop around." (shop, shop around)

Ah, there's somethings that I want you to know now.
Just as sure as the winds gonna blow now
The women come and the women gonna go now
Before you tell em that you love em so now.

My mama told me, "You better shop around, (shop, shop)
Oh yeah, you better shop around." (shop, shop around)

A-try to get yourself a bargain son.
Don't be sold on the very first one.
A-pretty girls come a dime a dozen,
A-try to find one who's gonna give you true lovin'

Before you take a girl and say I do, now,
Make sure she's in love with-a you now.
My mama told me, "You better shop around."

Ooh yeah, a-try to get yourself a bargain son.
Don't be sold on the very first one.
A-pretty girls come a dime a dozen,
A-try to find one who's gonna give you true lovin'.

Before you take a girl and say I do, now,
Make sure she's in love with-a you now.
Make sure that her love is true now.
I hate to see you feelin' sad and blue now."

My mama told me, "You better shop around (shop, shop)
Don't let the first one get you
Oh no cause I don't want to see her with you
Before you let her hold you tight, ah yeah make sure shes alright
Before you let her take your hand my son
Understand my son, be a man my son I know you can I love you"
