Laugh To Keep From Crying Lyrics - Pre-madonna - Madonna

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
