If It Makes You Happy

Lyrics

I've been long, a long way from here
 Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes
 And drank till I was thirsty again
 We were searching through thrift store jungles
 Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
 And Benny Goodman's corset and pen
 Well okay, I made that 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
 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 okay, I still get stoned
 I'm not the kind of girl you'd bring 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 long, a long away from here
 Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes
 And been everywhere in between
 Well okay, we get along
 But what if everything was all 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
 Then why the hell are you so sad?
 Why the hell are you so sad?
 
 I've been long, a long way from here
 Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes
 And drank till I was thirsty again
 We were searching through thrift store jungles
 Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
 And Benny Goodman's corset and pen
 Well okay, I made that 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
 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 okay, I still get stoned
 I'm not the kind of girl you'd bring 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 long, a long away from here
 Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes
 And been everywhere in between
 Well okay, we get along
 But what if everything was all 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
 Then why the hell are you so sad?
 Why the hell are you so sad?
