[Verse 1]
My girl's got a big mouth
With which she blabbers a lot
She laughs at most everything
Whether it's funny or not
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And if you see her, tell her it's over now
[Chorus]
I want a girl who will laugh for no one else
When I'm away, she puts her makeup on the shelf
When I'm away, she never leaves the house
I want a girl who laughs for no one else
[Verse 2]

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Please don't believe her, she says that for anyone

[Chorus]
I want a girl who will laugh for no one else
When I'm away, she puts her makeup on the shelf
When I'm away, she never leaves the house
I want a girl who laughs for no one else, no one else, yeah
