Laughin' and clownin' Just to keep from cryin' I'm laughin' and clownin' Just to keep from cryin' I keep on tryin' to hide the fact I've got a worried mind Let me tell you, being life of the party Seemed to be my role Since you left me, baby, being life of the party Seemed to be my role I keep on tryin' to hide my feelings Trying to hide my soul Let me tell you what I do, I stand in the doorway Watchin' all the girls go through You might not believe me, baby, but I stand in the doorway Watchin' all the girls go through I keep on tryin' to me find someone To take my mind off you, tickle 'em for me I keep on laughin' and clownin' To take my mind off you
