If It Makes You Happy

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've been a long, a long way from here I put on a poncho and played for mosquitoes And drank 'til I was thirsty again We went searching through thrift store jungles Found Geronimo's rifle and Marilyn's shampoo And Benny Goodman's cursive pen [Pre-Chorus] Well, okay, I made this up I promised you I'd never give up [Chorus] If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad If it makes you happy, then why the hell are you so sad? [Verse 2] I get down, real low down You listen to Coltrane and derail your own train Well, who hasn't been there before? I come around, around the hard way Bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread And serve you French toast again [Pre-Chorus] Well, okay, I still get stoned I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home [Chorus] 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?
