Song lyrics Laugh to keep from crying by Madonna

I canīt lock my door
Oh, I donīt have no privacy
The only thing thatīs mine
Is whatīs inside of me

When Iīve had enough
A little voice inside
It says youīve got to be tough
Youīve 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 donīt have a dime
Oh, to buy those pretty things
But I hear all the evidence
You know it all sounds the same

But Iīm still waiting
Iīve got my hands open wide
You know my dream isnīt fading
I keep it hidden inside
Oh

[chorus]

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

My friends donīt understand
Oh, they think Iīve lost my mind
And Iīm choking back the tears
Iīve got to swallow my pride

[chorus]

I just have to laugh, ah
La, ah
Lo, oh
La, ah
