Sheryl Crow - If It Makes You Happy - live - 2002 - lyrics

Sheryl Crow - If It Makes You Happy - live - 2002 - Nippon Budokan, Tokyo, Japan.

イフ・イット・メイクス・ユー・ハッピー

Even with her voice in shreds doing the high notes toward the end, it's still a great performance. Peter Stroud on lead guitar.

Lyrics:

I belong, a long way from here
I 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, alright, I made this up
I promised you I'd never give up

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
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 alright Tokyo, I still get stoned
But I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home

If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad

We've been far, far away from here
We put on a poncho, played for mosquitos
And everywhere in between
Well alright we get along
So what if right now everything's wrong?

If it makes you happy
He can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad?

If it makes you happy
He can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad?

Woman talking to her lover: you say that this makes you happy, but you act like you are miserable. WTF! That is the song in a nutshell.

[MySheryl1]

@lebarosky - Thanks. That is one of the best explanations I've ever heard.

Where are the lyrics?

[MySheryl1]

@Ballz01666 - Where you see the "view count" just under the video, there's a down-arrow to the left of it. Click on that and the lyrics will appear.

ギター超下手くそ！！歌も下手、やっぱりこいつらもAKB劇場行­って勉強しないとだめだ！！

[MusicMan3423]

This is better than the studio version. Sheryl's voice is sexier along with the rest of her : )

[MART0613]

Budokan seems to be an ideal place to play!
