I paid my dues
Every broken heart, every dead end
All those blues
It don't matter now
The tears I've waded through [?]
I can laugh out loud
I ended up with you
I can laugh out loud
I ended up with you
I can laugh out loud
At all the times I failed the test
Lost someone
And came out second best
I can see now
I had to learn a thing or two
I was practicing then
To get it right for you
Ohh, I can laugh out loud
Life and love
Ain't it a mystery
This road I've struggled down
Has thrown some curves at me
Who would have guessed
The grand-prize would be mine?
This late in the game
This far down the line?
I can look back now at all the years
I paid my dues
Every broken heart, every dead-end
All those blues
It don't matter now
The tears I've waded through
Ohh, I can laugh out loud
I ended up with you
I can laugh out loud
I ended up with you
Ohh, I can laugh out loud
I ended up with you
I can laugh out loud
I ended up with you
