If It Makes You Happy Songtext

von Sheryl Crow

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "If It Makes You Happy" von Sheryl Crow handelt von der Idee, dass man in einer Beziehung glücklich sein so...

I've been a 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
I 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:
If it makes you happy
I can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell you're so sad?
If it makes you happy
I can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad?

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

CHORUS:
If it makes you happy
I can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad?
If it makes you happy
I can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad?
