| Up the river without a raft
|
| You’ve done your worst with your better half
|
| You better think of something fast
|
| You better make her laugh
|
| Well, it’s after hours at the break of dawn
|
| You’ve made your bed all day long
|
| I must be doing something wrong
|
| Are those tears of joy, or are you just cryin'?
|
| Just when you think you’ve had enough
|
| And you’re tired of tryin' to suck it up
|
| I know you can make her laugh
|
| Like a child on a carnival ride
|
| Laugh the mascara right off her eyes
|
| As she’s walkin' away, just give it one more try
|
| I know you can make her laugh
|
| Well, you can leave when you want
|
| But please leave us laughing
|
| Leave us wondering what the fuck just happened
|
| Your ironic cynical sarcastic sense of humor’s got me wondering,
|
| if I ever had a chance
|
| You know you can’t make her love you
|
| But you sure can make her cry
|
| You can’t make her make up her mind
|
| Just when you think you’ve had enough
|
| And you’re tired of tryin' to suck it up
|
| I know you can make her laugh
|
| Like a child on a carnival ride
|
| Laugh the mascara right off her eyes
|
| As she’s walking away, give it one more try
|
| I know you can make her laugh
|
| I’m bombin' tonight
|
| Crickets fill the sky
|
| I’m dying on the vine
|
| When I see you smile again
|
| Well, I can make her laugh
|
| Now, I’m first in line for the last word now
|
| None of the sadness or madness has yet to die down
|
| There’s nothing to do but laugh out loud
|
| It was all just a joke anyhow
|
| So make her laugh
|
| Like a child on a carnival ride
|
| Laugh the mascara right off her eyes
|
| As she’s walking away, just give it one more try
|
| I know you can make her laugh
|
| Make her laugh
|
| I know you can make her laugh |
