Laugh To Keep From Crying [Finnish translation]

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
