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, 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?

You get down, real low down
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Well, who hasn't been there before?
I come around, around the hard way, whoa
Bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
And serve you french toast again

Well, okay, I still get stoned, oh
I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home

[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]
Ohh... Oh
[Chorus x2]

[Chorus]
If it makes you happy, Ooh whoa
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad?
Then why the hell are you so sad
