Lyrics - Should I Laugh or Cry? by Abba

He stands towering over me beside my bed
Losing his head
Tells me
I must take him seriously
Rambling on the usual way
He’s such a clever guy
Then
I wonder, should
I laugh or cry?
He’s dressed in the striped pyjamas that
I bought
Trousers too short
Gives me all his small philosophies
Carries on the way he does
And me
I get so tired
And
I wonder should
I laugh or cry
High and mighty his banner flies
A fool’s pride in his eyes
Standing there on his toes to grow in size
All
I see is a big balloon
Halfway up to the moon
He’s wrapped up in a warm and safe cocoon
Of an eternal lie
So should
I laugh or cry?
Strange how dangerously indifferent
I have grown
Cold as a stone
No more pain where there was pain before
Far away he rambles on
I feel my throat go dry
And
I wonder, should
I laugh or cry?
High and mighty his banner flies
A fool’s pride in his eyes
Standing there on his toes to grow in size
All
I see is a big balloon
Halfway up to the moon
He’s wrapped up in a warm and safe cocoon
Of an eternal lie
So should
I laugh or cry?
