Madonna - Laugh To Keep From Crying lyrics

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
