Laughin And Clownin - Van Morrison

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
