Lyric Laugh To Keep From Crying

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
