When You Need A Laugh

Patsy Cline

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
