Songs With The Word “Happy” In The Title

“If It Makes You Happy”

I belong, a long way from here
I put on a poncho and played for mosquitoes
And drank ’till I was thirsty again
We went searching, through thrift store jungles

Found Geronimo’s rifle, Marilyn’s shampoo
And Benny Goodman’s cursive pen
Well, okay, I made this up
I promise 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?

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
Okay, I still get stoned
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
I put on a poncho and played for mosquitoes
And everywhere in between
Well, okay, we get along
So what if right now, everything’s wrong?

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

“I’m Happy Just To Dance With You”

Before this dance is through
I think I’ll love you too
I’m so happy when you dance with me

I don’t wanna kiss or hold your hand
If it’s funny try and understand
There is really nothing else I’d rather do
‘Cause I’m happy just to dance with you

I don’t need to hug or hold you tight
I just wanna dance with you all night
In this world there’s nothing I would rather do
‘Cause I’m happy just to dance with you

Just to dance with you
Is everything I need
Before this dance is through
I think I’ll love you too
I’m so happy when you dance with me

If somebody tries to take my place
Let’s pretend we just can’t see his face
In this world there’s nothing I would rather do
‘Cause I’m happy just to dance with you

Just to dance with you
Is everything I need
Before this dance is through
I think I’ll love you too
I’m so happy when you dance with me

If somebody tries to take my place
Let’s pretend we just can’t see his face
In this world there’s nothing I would rather do
‘Cause I’m happy just to dance with you
‘Cause I’m happy just to dance with you

“You’ve Made Me So Very Happy”

I lost at love before,
Got mad and closed the door
But you said try just once more
I chose you for the one,
Now I’m having so much fun
You treated me so kind,
I’m about to lose my mind
You made me so very happy,
I’m so glad you came into my life

The others were untrue,
But when it came to lovin’ you,
I’d spend my whole life with you
‘Cause you came and you took control,
You touched my very soul
You always showed me that
Loving you was where it’s at
You made me so very happy,
I’m so glad you came into my life

Thank you baby, yeah yeah

I love you so much, it seems
That you’re even in my dreams I can hear
Baby, I hear you calling me
I’m so in love with you,
All I ever want to do is
Thank you, baby
Thank you, baby

You made me so very happy
I’m so glad you came into my life
You made me so very happy
You made me so, so very happy baby
I’m so glad you
Came into my life
Mmmm, I want to thank you, girl
Every day of my life
I wanna thank you
You made me so very happy
Oh, I wanna spend my life thanking you
(Thank you baby, thank you baby)

“Happy”

It might seem crazy what I am about to say
Sunshine she’s here, you can take a break
I’m a hot air balloon that could go to space
With the air, like I don’t care, baby, by the way

(Because I’m happy)
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
(Because I’m happy)
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
(Because I’m happy)
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
(Because I’m happy)
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do

Here come bad news, talking this and that (Yeah!)
Well, give me all you got, don’t hold it back (Yeah!)
Well, I should probably warn ya, I’ll be just fine (Yeah!)
No offense to you, don’t waste your time
Here’s why…

(Happy)
Bring me down… can’t nothing…
(Happy)
Bring me down… my love is too high…
(Happy)
Bring me down… can’t nothing…
(Happy)
Bring me down, I said

(Happy, happy, happy, happy)
Bring me down…can’t nothing…
(Happy, happy, happy, happy)
Bring me down… my love is too high…
(Happy, happy, happy, happy)
Bring me down… can’t nothing…
(Happy, happy, happy, happy)
Bring me down, I said

(Happy, happy, happy, happy)
Bring me down… can’t nothing…
(Happy, happy, happy, happy)
Bring me down… my love is too high…
(Happy, happy, happy, happy)
Bring me down… can’t nothing…
(Happy, happy, happy, happy)
Bring me down, I said

Come on!

“Happy Birthday”

You know it doesn’t make much sense
There ought to be a law against
Anyone who takes offense
At a day in your celebration
Cause we all know in our minds
That there ought to be a time
That we can set aside
To show just how much we love you
And I’m sure you would agree
It couldn’t fit more perfectly
Than to have a world party on the day you came to beHappy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthdayHappy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthdayI just never understood
How a man who died for good
Could not have a day that would
Be set aside for his recognition
Because it should never be
Just because some cannot see
The dream as clear as he
that they should make it become an illusion
And we all know everything
That he stood for time will bring
For in peace our hearts will sing
Thanks to Martin Luther KingHappy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthdayHappy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthdayWhy has there never been a holiday
Where peace is celebrated
all throughout the worldThe time is overdue
For people like me and you
Who know the way to truth
Is love and unity to all God’s children
It should be a great event
And the whole day should be spent
In full remembrance
Of those who lived and died for the oneness of all people
So let us all begin
We know that love can win
Let it out don’t hold it in
Sing it loud as you canHappy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Ooh yeah
Happy birthday…We know the key to unify all people
Is in the dream that you had so long ago
That lives in all of the hearts of people
That believe in unity
We’ll make the dream become a reality
I know we will
Because our hearts tell us so

“I’m So Happy I Can’t Stop Crying”

Seven weeks have passed now since she left me
And she shows her face to ask me how I am.
She says the kids are fine and that they miss me,
Maybe I could come and babysit sometime.

She says “Are you ok? I was worried about you,
Can you forgive me? I hope that you’ll be happy.”
I said “I’m so happy that I can’t stop crying,
I’m so happy, I’m laughing through my tears.”

I saw a friend of mine. He said “I was worried about you,
I heard she had another man. I wondered how you felt about it”
I’m so happy that I can’t stop crying,
I’m so happy I’m laughing through my tears.

Saw my lawyer, Mr. Good News
He got me joint custody and legal separation.
I’m so happy that I can’t stop crying,
I’m laughing through my tears, I’m laughing through my tears.

I can’t stop crying, I’m laughing through my tears,
I’m laughing through my tears.

I took a walk along last night, I looked up at the stars,
To try and find an answer in my life.
I chose a star for me, I chose a star for him,
I chose two stars for my kids and one star for my wife.
Something made me smile, something seemed to ease the pain,
Something ’bout the universe and how it’s all connected.

The park is full of Sunday fathers and melted ice cream.
We try to do the best within the given time.
A kid should be with his mother, everybody knows that,
What can a father do but babysit sometimes.

I saw that friend of mine, he said “you look different somehow.”
I said “everybody’s got to leave the darkness sometimes.”
I said, “I’m so happy that I can’t stop crying,
I’m laughing through my tears, I’m laughing through my tears.”

“I’m so happy that I can’t stop crying,
I’m laughing through my tears, I’m laughing through my tears.”

“Finally Made Me Happy”

Betcha thought I’d die when you went away
Thought I’d get drunk in my sorrows and just slip away
But things have changed from back in the day begging you to stay
Now I can’t wait to see you packing, see you leaving today

Baby, you finally made me happy
When you walked out that door
Baby, you finally made me happy
When you walked out that door
For all the times you made me cry
Now all I feel is joy
And you finally made me happy, baby

Walking through my door, bringing jewelry and stacks
You tell me you’ll give it all to me if I take you back
But I’m in my bedroom, baby
Moaning, “oh, baby”
That’s my new lover under my covers hollering, “uh, uh, uh”

Baby, you finally made me happy
When you walked out that door
Finally made me happy
When you walked out that door
For all the times you made me cry
Now all I feel is joy
And you finally made me happy, baby
Finally made me happy, baby
