You can comb your hair just right
Put on a suit and tie
But mister, you’re living a lie if you think that’ll do it
Be the smoothest player in the bar
Show her your fancy car
Use your best pickup line, she’s gonna yawn right through it

But if you can make a girl laugh, and set her free
Help her forget about her troubles for a minute or three
Take a good look at her face, and you’ll see the real her
Make a girl laugh, and let down her guard
She might let you show her who you are
I’m telling you friend, if you want to win, your best chance
Is if you make a girl laugh

Anybody can buy her a drink
She'd probably rather dance with her friends
I wouldn’t even ask for her number til she offers to give it
Don’t be making those plans in your head
About taking her home and taking her to bed
First things first, you’ve got to make the most of this minute

Make a girl laugh and set her free
Help her forget about her troubles for a minute or three
Take a good look at her face, and you’ll see the real her
Make a girl laugh, and let down her guard
She might let you show her who you are
I’m telling you, friend, if you want to win, your best chance
Is if you make a girl laugh

Now I'm talking "gitchy-gitchy"
You gotta come up with something witty
Give that a reason to LOL

Make a girl laugh, and set her free
Help her forget about her troubles for a minute or three
Take a good look at her face, and you’ll see the real her
Make a girl laugh, and let down her guard
She might let you show her who you are
I’m telling you, friend, if you want to win, your best chance
Is if you make a girl laugh
