If It Makes You Happy Lyrics by Sheryl Crow

If It Makes You Happy Lyrics

    I've been long, a long way from here
    Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,
    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 pen

    Well, o.k. 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

    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

    [Chorus]

    We've been far, far away from here
    Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos
    And everywhere in between
    Well, o.k. we get along
    So what if right now everything's wrong?

    [Chorus]
