Laughin And Clownin
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm laughing and clowning
Just to keep from crying
I'm laughing and clowning
Just to keep from crying
I'm trying to hide the fact
That I've got a worried mind
Being the life of the party
Seems to be my role
Ever since you left me, girl
Being the life of the party
Seems to be my role
I'm trying to hide my feelings
And I'm trying to hide my soul
Yes, I am
Well, listen, one more thing
I stand in the doorway
Watching all the girls go through
I stand in the doorway
Watching all the girls go through
Yes, I do
I'm trying to find me somebody
To make my mind off of you
Pick it for me, son
Whoa, I keep laughing and clowning
To make my mind off of you, girl
