I Just Had To Laugh

I Just Had To Laugh

I just had to laugh

To keep from cryin'

My heart stopped

I almost dropped

When you laid the news on me

I just had to run,

To keep from crawlin'

At your feet

Darlin' beggin' pleadin'

Don't take that thing from me

What'll I do now?

Won't you tell me please?

It's hard to know, where I stand

When I'm down here on my knees

I just had to smile,

To keep from frownin'

A happy clown,

Inside I'm down

Ever since you said we're through

I just had to ask,

To keep from wonderin'

The mystery was foggin' me

Like a fool I played the sleuth

What'll I do now?

Won't you tell me please?

It's hard to know where I stand

When I'm down here on my knees

I just had to laugh

To keep from cryin'

My heart stopped

I almost dropped

When you laid the news on me

I just had to swim

To keep from drownin'

A swollen stream

Of tears and dreams

White water turning blue

What'll I do now?

Won't you tell me please?

It's hard to know where I stand

It's hard to know where I stand

It's hard to know where I stand

When I'm down here on my knees

I'm so low I could sit on a dime and swing my feet
