John Mellencamp – Between A Laugh And A Tear Lyrics  Share

From John Mellencamp's album: Scarecrow

When paradise is no longer fit for you to live in
And your adolescent dreams are gone
Through the days you feel a little used up
And you don^,t know where your energy^,s gone wrong
It^,s just your soul feelin^, a little downhearted
Sometimes life is too ridiculous to live
You count your friends all on one finger
I know it sounds crazy just the way that we live

Between a laugh and a tear
Smile in the mirror as you walk by
Between a laugh and a tear
And that^,s as good as it can get for us
And there ain^,t no reason to stop tryin^,

When this cardboard town can no longer amuse you
You see through everything and nothin^, seems worthwhile
[ Between A Laugh And A Tear lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/j/john-mellencamp/between-laugh-and-tear/ ]
And hypocrite used to be such a big word to you
And it don^,t seem to mean anything to you now
Just try to live each and every precious moment
Don^,t be discouraged by the future forget the past
That^,s old advise but it^,ll be good to you
I know there^,s a balance see it when I swing past

Between a laugh and a tear
Smile in the mirror as you walk by
Between a laugh and a tear
And that^,s as good as it can get for us
And there ain^,t no reason to stop tryin^,

[Repeat]
When paradise can no longer amuse you.....
