Dusty Springfield - I Only Wanna Laugh Lyrics

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 want to laugh
No time for crying
I only want to laugh
No time for tears

I only want to sing
A song that's happy
That's why I only want to walk a street that's sunny
I only want to 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 want to laugh
Only want to laugh
Only want to 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 want to cry
Hey
I only want to laugh
Only want to laugh
Only want to laugh

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 want to laugh
No time for crying
I only want to laugh
No time for tears

I only want to sing
A song that's happy
That's why I only want to walk a street that's sunny
I only want to 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 want to laugh
Only want to laugh
Only want to 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 want to cry
Hey
I only want to laugh
Only want to laugh
Only want to laugh
