==Overview==
"She Makes Me Laugh" was the first single off Good Times!, a 2016 Monkees album released to commemorate the band's 50th anniversary. 
The verse melody is originally from Cuomo's May 1998 demo "I'm So Glad I Got a Girl to Think Of." This melody was later repurposed in 2001 for the chorus of “Stupid Feelings”. On November 23, 2020 Cuomo's demos were released as part of Alone XII: The White Year. Cuomo added lyrics about Scrabble and canoeing after singer Micky Dolenz expressed that the lyrics felt geared at someone much younger.Greene, Andy.

I'm so glad that I got her to think of
She's fine as any valentine
I think about her all the time
Cross my heart and hope to die
She sends me silly messages and pictures
Directing traffic in the mall
Or posing with some brand new shoes
She never fails to surprise
She makes me laugh
She makes me smile
And I could hang out
With her all day and night
She makes me laugh
She makes me cry
And I would like to be with her for a while
I'm so glad that I got her to think of
We'll have a dinner date tonight
And play some Scrabble with the guys
And wear our pink party hats
Maybe I should take her on safari
You'll see us wave from our canoe
If that's what she wants to do
Tell me what's wrong with that
She makes me laugh
She makes me smile
And I could hang out
With her all day and night
She makes me laugh
She makes me cry
And I would like to be with her for a while
No matter whatever else I do
She's still the girl I should hold on to
No matter whatever else I do
She's still the girl I should hold on to
No matter whatever else I do
She's still the girl (Still the girl)
She makes me laugh
She makes me smile
And I could hang out
With her all day and night
She makes me laugh
She makes me cry
And I would like to be with her for a while

I'm so glad I've got a girl to think of
Even though she isn't mine
I think about her all the time
It's enough to know she's alive
I wish that I could get to know her better
She's always got her dander up
Until she gives a hug goodbye
And then I know she's alive
She makes me laugh
She makes me smile
And I could hang out
With her all day and night
She makes me laugh
She makes me cry
And I would like to be with her for a while
I'm so glad I've got a girl to think of
Even though she isn't mine
I think about her all the time
It's enough to know she's alive
I wish that I could get to know her better
She's always got her dander up
Until she gives a hug goodbye
And then I know she's alive
She makes me laugh
She makes me smile
And I could hang out
With her all day and night
She makes me laugh
She makes me cry
And I would like to be with her for a while
No matter whatever else I do
She's still the girl I should hold on to
No matter whatever else I do
She's still the girl I should hold on to
No matter whatever else I do
She's still the girl (Still the girl)
She makes me laugh
She makes me smile
And I could hang out
With her all day and night
She makes me laugh
She makes me cry
And I would like to be with her for a while
