I’m laughin’ and clownin’ Just to keep from cryin’ I’m laughin’ and clownin’ Baby, just to keep from cryin’ I try to hide the fact That I’ve got a worried mind
Being the life of the party Now that seemed to be my little role Being the life of the party Seemed to be my little role Tryin’ to hide my feelings Tryin’ to hide my soul
Standin’ in the doorway Watchin’ all the girls go through Standin’ in the doorway Watchin’ all the girls go through I’m tryin’ to find me somebody To take my mind off you
Laughin’, laughin’, laughin’, laughin’, laughin’, laughin’ and clownin’ Laughin’ to keep from cryin’ I’m laughin’ and clownin’ Laughin’ and clownin’ Just to keep from cryin’ I’m just tryin’ to hide the fact now That I’ve got a troubled mind, troubled mind
And I’m standin’ in the doorway And I’m watchin’ all the girls go through I’m standin’ in the doorway, baby Watchin’ all the girls go through I’m tryin’ to find me somebody To take my mind off you To take my mind off you
