Laugh 'N' a 1/2

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 and I know it's good

But understanding is 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 makin'

Bumpers and kickers in one big stream

I grew up in a life sized 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 and I know it's good

But understanding is misunderstood

At the end of a smile, there's a laugh'n a 1/2

(There's a laugh) On my behalf

There's something inside me and I know it's good

But understanding is misunderstood

At the end of a smile, there's a laugh'n a 1/2

I tried to fill some silence 'cause the silence feel so long

I knew the ice was gettin' 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 jokes I'll never get to hear

On my behalf

There's something inside me and I know it's good

But understanding is misunderstood

At the end of a smile, there's a laugh and a half

(There's a laugh) Yeah, on my behalf

There's something inside me and I know it's good

But understanding is misunderstood

At the end of a smile, there's a laugh'n a 1/2

(There's a laugh'n a 1/2)

At the end of a smile, there's a laugh'n a 1/2

(There's a laugh'n a 1/2)

At the end of a smile, there's a laugh'n a 1/2

(There's a laugh'n a 1/2)

At the end of a smile, there's a laugh'n a 1/2
