They All Laughed

All success is fleeting I said to her
 Is that what you've been reading
 She snapped and turned
 To someone else and said
 "Wait, why was it that he was invited"
 That was fun
 And if you get this letter and I hope you do
 Please don't get upset or misconstrue
 My writing as it's not as favorable as the applause
 You got today
 Why don't you say what you are really
 Intending to gain by wearing on me
 I still can't believe you thought us to be
 More ET than Steven, Nancy and Lee
 When we did they all laughed
 It was never more than an act
 But I had fun
 Why don't you say what you are really
 Intending to gain by falling for me
 If it's true say that you'll be willing
 To believe when I feign my
 Questioning stare and instinct to care
 When you clean the air again
 It's not like I had alluded
 Maybe if you didn't
 Give anything away
 Given your lack of grace
 Why don't you say what you are really
 Intending to gain by falling for me
 If it's true say that you'll be willing
 To believe when I feign my
 Questioning stare and instinct to care
 When you clean the air again
