I see you laughing up at me, and I can't hide
   What it is that you can see
   I guess that's why
   I'm holding out my love for you
   And when you turn it around
   In different ways
   The answers turn around and fly away
  
   I see you laughing up at me
   And I can't hide
   What it is that you can see
   I guess that's why
   I'm holding out my love for you
  
   A lifelong history
   Of trust in vain
   I lead the fools' parade
   Out in the rain
  
   I see you laughing up at me
   'Cos you don't seem to care
   But oh how happy I can be
   When you are there
  
   That's why I'm holding out
   My love for you
