If It Makes You Happy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been long
Long way from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes
And drank till I was thirsty again
We went searchin'
Through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen

[Pre-Chorus]
Okay, I made this up
I promised I would 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? [Pre-Chorus]
Well, okay, I still get stoned
I'm not the kind of girl you'd take homе

[Chorus]
But if it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Thеn 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?
Why the hell are you so sad?
Ooh
[Outro]
We've been far
Far away from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes
And everywhere in-between
If it makes you happy
