Laughin and Clownin

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
