Make Her Laugh - Soul Asylum

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
