If It Makes You Happy Song Lyrics
I been long, a long way from herePut on a poncho and played for mosquitoesAnd drank ’til I was thirsty againWe went searchin’, through thrift store junglesFound Geronimo’s rifle, Marilyn’s shampooAnd Benny Goodman’s corset and penWell, okay, I made this upI promised you I’d never give up
If it makes you happyIt can’t be that badIf it makes you happyThen why the hell are you so sad?
You get down, real low downYou listen to Coltrane, derail your own trainWell, who hasn’t been there before?I come ’round, around the hard wayBring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the breadAnd serve you French toast againWell, okay, I still get stonedI’m not the kind of girl you’d take home
If it makes you happyIt can’t be that badIf it makes you happyThen why the hell are you so sad?If it makes you happyIt can’t be that badIf it makes you happyThen why the hell are you so sad?
We’ve been far, far away from herePut on a poncho and played for mosquitoesAnd everywhere in betweenWell, okay, we get alongSo what if right now, everything’s wrong?
If it makes you happyIt can’t be that badIf it makes you happyThen why the hell are you so sad?If it makes you happyIt can’t be that badIf it makes you happyThen why the hell are you so sad?
