Lyrics

[Refrain]
Make me happy
[Chorus]
Sha-la-la-la, la-la, oh, baby
Sha-la-la-la, la-la, oh, baby
[Verse 1]
I've been gone so long I know what to do, oh, baby
That I know you don't know all I've been goin' through, baby
'Cause you make me happy, baby, so I can say
[Chorus]
Sha-la-la-la, la-la, and I love you
Sha-la-la-la, la-la, I'm thinkin' of you
[Verse 2]
I know you can tell what's on my mind, baby
And I've been feelin' this way for such a long time, yeah, baby
Aw, make me happy, baby, yeah
Aw, make me happy, I wanna say
Yeah
[Refrain]
Make me happy
[Verse 3]
I tried and this feelin' just won't die, oh
Sha-la-la-la, la-la, make you cry
It's somethin' that just gets down in your bones, baby
And once I see you I can't leave your love alone, aye, hey, baby
Aw, make me happy, baby
Aw, make me happy, baby, and let me sing
[Chorus]
Sha-la-la-la, la-la, oh, baby
Oh, goodness me
Sha-la-la-la, la-la, baby
