Laugh To Keep From Crying
I can't lock my doorOh, I don't have no privacyThe only thing that's mineIs what's inside of me
When I've had enoughA little voice insideIt says you've got to be toughYou've got to take it in stride
Sometimes I am foolishI let it get the best of meAt least I know that my mistakesAre my responsibilityAnd
[Chorus:]
I just have to laugh to keep from cryingI just have to laugh to keep from crying
I don't have a dimeOh, to buy those pretty thingsBut I hear all the evidenceYou know it all sounds the same
But I'm still waitingI've got my hands open wideYou know my dream isn't fadingI keep it hidden insideOh
[chorus]
I just have to laugh to keep from cryingI keep on trying
My friends don't understandOh, they think I've lost my mindAnd I'm choking back the tearsI've got to swallow my pride
[chorus]
I just have to laugh, ahLa, ahLo, ohLa, ah
