Laughin' and Clownin'
just to keep from crying
I'm Laughin' and Clownin'
just to keep from crying
I keep on trying to hide the fact I've got a worried mind
Let me tell you,
being life of the party seemed to be my role
Since you left me baby
being life of the party seemed to be my role
I keep on tryong to hide my feelings, trying to hide my soul
Let me tell you what I do
I stand in the doorway, watching all the girls go through
You might not believe me baby but
I stand in the doorway, watching all the girls go through
I keep on trying to find someone
to take my mind off you
-O tickle it for me, Hal-
I keep on laughing and clowning
to take my mind off you
