Lyrics
Don't know you well, you play the clown
I get to first base and you're there to put me down
The jokes on me, you're on a roll
But there are other ways to show you're in control
Don't make me laugh, just play it straight
So I can start believing you may have a heart
A heart that burns to have an honest feeling
Don't make me laugh
You're always there with a quick line
And I laugh but miss the message in your mind
Just once I wish you'd reach inside
And tell me what you want and what you're trying to hide
Don't make me laugh, just play it straight
So I can start believing you may have a heart
A heart that burns to have an honest feeling
Don't make me laugh
No I'm not crying here, I just want more than to be your straight man
If you're serious, don't give me a line
Don't make me laugh, just play it straight
So I can start believing you may have a heart
A heart that burns to have an honest feeling
Don't make me laugh
