"If It Makes You Happy"
Sheryl Crow 1996

I’ve been long, along 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

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)
