When You Need A Laugh

Written by Hank Cochran

Released October 28, 1963

You can't imagine how it hurts me

To have you treat me like you do

Knowing that my love is just a joke to you

But I'll take it just to see you

And laugh as teardrops fall

So when you need a laugh, give me a call

Everybody says I'm crazy

To let you treat me this way

But I can't explain, so, what else can I say

At least I'm on your mind when you're laughin'

Somehow that breaks the fall

So when you need a laugh, give me a call

I'd gladly trade the laugh you get

For making fun of me

To be around the one I love and need so desperately

So even if the laugh's on me

I don't mind at all

So when you need a laugh, give me a call

So when you need a laugh, give me a call
