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

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

I just have to laugh to keep from crying
I just have to laugh to keep from crying

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

I just have to laugh to keep from crying
I just have to laugh to keep from crying
