It Only Hurts When I Laugh Lyrics - Ronna Reeves

Oh, you won't see me smile again, no, not for a while 

'Cause way down here on lonely street 

There's heartaches by the mile 

I try to hold my head up and forget about the past 

But my heart recalls and the teardrops fall 

'Til I break down and laugh 

Oh, I cried, cried, cried when you left me 

Oh, I tried, tried, tried to forget your memory 

But when I see your photograph it tears my heart in half 

And it only hurts me, baby, when I laugh 

I think I'm going crazy, look what you've done to me 

A victim of your reckless ways is all I've come to be 

The jukebox in the corner knows exactly what to play 

Singing the blues and born to lose, while I laugh the hurt away 

Oh, I cried, cried, cried when you left me 

Oh, I tried, tried, tried to forget your memory 

But when I see your photograph it tears my heart in half 

And it only hurts me, baby, when I laugh
