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

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
