Walking down the Lady with my head down low
Looking for my mama but she ain’t here no more
Baby you don’t know, you don’t know my mind

When you see me laughing, I’m laughing just to keep from crying
She won’t cook my dinner, won’t wash my clothes
Won’t do nothing but walk the road
Baby you don’t know, you don’t know my mind

When you see me laughing, I’m laughing just to keep from crying
My breakfast on the table and my coffee’s getting cold
And mama’s in the kitchen getting sweep …
Baby you don’t know, you don’t know my mind

When you see me laughing, I’m laughing just to keep from crying
Sometimes I think my baby’s too good to die
Sometimes I think she should be buried alive
Baby you don’t know, you don’t know my mind

When you see me laughing, I’m laughing just to keep from crying
I wish I had a nickel, I wish I had a dime
I wish I hadn’t give myself a fabulous time
Baby you don’t know, you don’t know my mind

When you see me laughing, I’m laughing just to keep from crying
Look at you mama, see what you got it done
You got my money now you broke and run
Baby you don’t know, you don’t know my mind

When you see me laughing, I’m laughing just to keep from crying
You made me get mad and you made me get sad
Going … than you have ever had
Baby you don’t know, you don’t know my mind
When you see me laughing, I’m laughing just to keep from crying.

He vuelto a confiar mis sueños a un mortal. Hoy la tempestad me ha vuelto a alcanzar. No puedo resistir los golpes que me das. No quiero recibir tus gotas de humildad. Dime que no es vital para mi volver a escuchar la sonrisa de un niño fugaz. Dime que no es vital volver a desenmascarar al monstruo de la infelicidad. Dime que no es vital... he vuelto a caer como el sol al atardecer. Muero al saber que no amanecerá. No entiendo el por qué me hiciste sufrir. Dejo d respirar, y no dejo d sentir. Dime que no es vital para mi volver a escuchar la sonrisa de un niño fugaz. Dime que no es vital volver a desenmascarar al monstruo de la infelicidad. Dime que no es vital... Ahora ya no siento miedo, lo que siento es el desprecio. Mi corazon se hunde cuando pisas todos mis sueños. Dime que no es vital para mi volver a escuchar la sonrisa de un niño fugaz. Dime que no es vital volver a desenmascarar al monstruo de la infelicidad. Dime que no es vital...
