Laughter Lou (Who Needs You?) Songtext
von Steve Forbert

You criticise most anything
Yeah, but what have you ever done?
You′re always putting something down
Or laughing at someone
Don't matter who or what it is
You′ll give us your critique
Don't matter when or where it is
You've always got to speak

Now it′s you
Well, who needs you?
Smile, you′re pretty, laugh again
But who?


Can't ever tell what′s under the light
'Til you′ve been there yourself
You've spent your whole life sitting down
Just watching someone else
You′ve never known the fist to face
Or what it's like to try
You only know that picture book
That lies behind your eyes

Now it's you
Well, who needs you?
Smile, you′re pretty, laugh again
But who?
Yeah, surrender
Surrender

You criticise most everyone
Yeah, but what have you got to show?
At least the ones you′re putting down
Got up to have a go
Ain't no one said the nightly led
Was up above no sludge
Just give me one good reason why
You′re qualified to judge


Now it's you
Well, who needs you?
Smile, you′re pretty, laugh again
But tell me who?
Yeah, surrender, oh yeah
Surrender
