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
