If It Makes You Happy by Sheryl Crow

I've been long

A long way from here

Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos
And drank till I was thirsty again
We went searching
Through thrift store jungles

Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen
Well, ok I made this up
I promised you I'd never give up
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad

You get down

Real low down

You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Well who hasn't been there before
I come round

Around the hard way

Bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
And serve you french toast again
Well, ok I still get stoned
I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad

We've been far

Far away from here

Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos
And everywhere in between
Well, ok we get along
So what if right now everything's wrong
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
