Ella Fitzgerald
Laughin’ on the Outside (Crying On The Inside)
[Intro]
I'm laughing on the outside
Crying on the inside for you
Just for you

[Verse 1]
The crowd sees me out dancing
Carefree and romancing
Happy with my someone new
I'm laughing on the outside
Crying on the inside
'Cause I'm still in love with you

[Verse 2]
They see me night and daytime
Having such a gay time
They don't know what I go through
I'm laughing on the outside
Crying on the inside
'Cause I'm still in love with you

[Bridge]
No one knows it's just a pose
Pretending I'm glad we're apart
And when I cry, my eyes are dry
The tears are in my heart
[Verse 3]
My darling, can't we make up?
Ever since our breakup
Make-believe is all I do
I'm laughing on the outside
Crying on the inside
'Cause I'm still in love with you

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
No one knows it's just a pose
Pretending I'm glad we're apart
And when I cry, my eyes are dry
The tears are in my heart

[Verse 3]
My darling, can't we make up?
Ever since our breakup
Make-believe is all I do
I'm laughing on the outside
Crying on the inside
'Cause I'm still in love with you

[Outro]
That's why I'm laughing on the outside
Crying on the inside
All because you said we are through
