Madonna - Laugh To Keep From Crying

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
