SHERYL CROW lyrics : "If It Makes You Happy"

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]
