I Only Wanna Laugh

(album: Dusty.... Definitely - 1968)

Change the mood I'm in
For a little while
Let me see that grin
Let me see you smile

No soulful tales that fret and frown
No woeful wails that get me down
No rights or wrongs
Sing no sad songs for me

I only wanna laugh
No time for crying
I only wanna laugh
No time for tears

I only wanna sing
A song that's happy
That's why I only wanna walk a street that's sunny
I only wanna see the side that's funny

I'm saving all of my tears until tomorrow
'Cause crying all my tears
Just ain't my style
I'm acting like a clown
But let me be
'Cause even though I know
The joke's on me
I only wanna laugh
Only wanna laugh
Only wanna laugh

I'm saving all of my tears until tomorrow
'Cause crying all my tears
Baby, just ain't my style
I'm acting like a clown
But let me be
'Cause even though the joke's on me, oh
Tell the girls goodbye
'Cause I don't wanna cry
Hey
I only wanna laugh
Only wanna laugh
Only wanna laugh
