Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I been long, a long way from here
I put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes
Drank till I was thirsty again
I went searchin' through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
Benny Goodman's corset and pen
[PreChorus]
Well, okay, 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?
[Verse 2]
You get down, real low down
You listen to Coldplay, derail your own train
Who hasn't been there before?
I come 'round, around the hard way
I bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
And serve you French toast again
[PreChorus]
Well, okay, I still get stoned
I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home
[Chorus]
It makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad?
[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 3]
We've been far, far away from here
We put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes
Everywhere in between
[PreChorus]
Well, okay, we get along
So what if right now every thing's wrong?
[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?
[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?
[Outro]
Oh
