If It Makes You Happy

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've been long, a long way from here Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes 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 [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] You get down, real low down You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train Well, who hasn't been there before? I come around, around the hard way I 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? [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 3] We've been far, far away from here Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes And everywhere in between [Pre-Chorus] Well, okay, we get along So what if right now everything's wrong? [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? [Outro] If it makes you happy It can't be that bad If it makes you happy Then why the hell are you so sad? Why the hell are you so sad? Why the hell are you so sad? Then why the hell are you so sad?
