Sam Cooke - Laughin' and Clowin' lyrics

Laughing and clowning Just to keep from crying I'm laughing and clowning Just to keep from crying I keep on trying 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 trying to hide my feelings Trying to hide my soul Let me tell you what I do, I stand in the doorway Watching all the girls go through You might not believe me, baby, but I stand in the doorway Watching all the girls go through I keep on trying to me find someone To take my mind off you, tickle 'em for me I keep on laughing and clowning To take my mind off you
