I can't lock my door
|
Oh, I don't have no privacy
|
The only thing that's mine
|
Is what's inside of me
|
|
When I've had enough
|
A little voice inside
|
It says you've got to be tough
|
You've got to take it in stride
|
|
Sometimes I am foolish
|
I let it get the best of me
|
At least I know that my mistakes
|
Are my responsibility
|
And
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
|
I just have to laugh to keep from crying
|
I just have to laugh to keep from crying
|
|
I don't have a dime
|
Oh, to buy those pretty things
|
But I hear all the evidence
|
You know it all sounds the same
|
|
But I'm still waiting
|
I've got my hands open wide
|
You know my dream isn't fading
|
I keep it hidden inside
|
Oh
|
|
[chorus]
|
|
I just have to laugh to keep from crying
|
I keep on trying
|
|
My friends don't understand
|
Oh, they think I've lost my mind
|
And I'm choking back the tears
|
I've got to swallow my pride
|
|
[chorus]
|
|
I just have to laugh, ah
|
La, ah
|
Lo, oh
|
La, ah
|
|

Laugh To Keep From Crying
