Boo Hoo Hoo! Ha Ha Ha! (I'm In
Between A Laugh And A Cry)
Lyric: Edgar Leslie
Music: Harry Warren
Year: 1931
Original publisher: Remick Music Corp.
Verse 1:
Sometimes I feel that I should hate you,
Sometimes I feel that I should care,
Sometimes I'd like to aggravate you
And fill you with despair.
You've treated me just like a plaything,
You haven't acted fair.
Chorus:
Boo hoo hoo, ha ha ha,
I'm in between a laugh and a cry;
Boo hoo hoo, ha ha ha,
It's all because you whispered, "Goodbye."
The way you tortured me should make me glad
That you went away;
But when I miss your kiss, I feel so sad,
I want you back to stay.
Here I am, there you are,
With love about to live or die,
Boo hoo hoo, ha ha ha,
I'm in between a laugh and a cry.
Verse 2:
I live in hopes that on the morrow
I may awaken bright and gay.
Instead of joy, I find some sorrow
Is standing in my way.
My heart is in between the dark clouds
That bring a rainy day.
[Chorus]
