SHERYL CROW

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]

 

 

SWEET CHILD O' MINE

 

He's got a smile that it seems to me

Reminds me of childhood memories

Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky

Now and then when I see his face

It takes me away to that special place

And if I stared too long

I'd probably break down and cry

 

Sweet child o' mine

Sweet love of mine

 

He's got eyes of the bluest skies

And if they thought of rain

I hate to look into those eyes

And see an ounce of pain

His hair reminds me of a warm safe place

Where as a child I'd hide

And pray for the thunder

And the rain To quietly pass me by

Sweet child o' mine

Sweet love of mine

Where do we go? Where do we go now?

Where do we go? Sweet child o' mine
