Laughing Out Loud
The Grapes Of Wrath Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My world that is so much so overcoming
My dreams I ?
My world that there are times
Times I wonder
I get so so confused I ?

I'm laughing out loud
I'm laughing out loud
I'm laughing out loud
I'm laughing out loud

I'm sorry I don't need
Need to hurt you
I never tortured someone dear
Who are these things they say
Stole my ego
I grin but novelty ?

I'm laughing out loud
I'm laughing out loud
I'm laughing out loud
I'm laughing out loud

I'm laughing out loud
I'm laughing out loud
I'm laughing out loud
I'm laughing out loud

I'm laughing out loud
I'm laughing out loud
I'm laughing out loud
I'm laughing out loud




I'm laughing out loud
I'm laughing out loud
