If It Makes You Happy - Sheryl Crow
I've been long, a long way from here Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes,
And drank 'til I was thirsty again
We went searching through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
And Benny Goodman's corset and fan
Well, o.k. 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, o.k. I still get stoned I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home
( * , * )
We've been far, far away from here Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes,
And everywhere in between
Well, o.k. we get along so what if right now everything's wrong?
( * ) Til End
