Laugh 'n' A 1/2

(album: Riskin' It All - 1991)

I learned politeness on my mother's knee
I learned by uprightness my number of friends
Should increase
When I think about the things I've done
I laugh out loud to no one
Yeah, to no one
'Cause it's so hard to meet the eyes that I see
When I try to open up my heart
There's something inside me'n'I know it's good
But understanding, it's misunderstood
At the end of a smile, there's a laugh'n'a 1/2

But I became honest Mr. Mistaken
In spite of the curves my smile was making
Bumpers and kickers in one big stream
I grew up in a life size pinball machine
Yeah! They're mean
'Cause it's so hard to meet the eyes that I see
When I try to open up my heart
There's something inside me'n'I know it's good
But understanding, it's misunderstood
At the end of a smile, there's a laugh'n'a 1/2
On my behalf
There's something inside me and I know it's good
But understanding, it's misunderstood
At the end of a smile, there's a laugh'n'a 1/2

I tried to fill some silece
'Cause the silence feels so long
I knew the ice was getting thinner
But I kept skating on
My mother threw me into this world as a winner
But by the light of the yellow beer
They tell the jokes I'll never get to hear
On my behalf
There's something inside me and I know it's good
But understanding, it's misunderstood
At the end of a smile, there's a laugh'n'a 1/2

On my behalf
There's something inside me and I know it's good
But understanding, it's misunderstood
At the end of a smile, there's a laugh'n'a 1/2
At the end of a smile, there's a laugh'n'a 1/2
At the end of a smile, there's a laugh'n'a 1/2
At the end of a smile, there's a laugh'n'a 1/2
At the end of a smile, there's a laugh'n'a 1/2
