If It Makes You Happy by Sheryl Crow

This was on rotation on MTV while i was in high school. I distinctly remember attending a school event wherein this was performed by a fellow student. I can't remember who she was but her performance was what I remembered after I grew an appreciation for Sheryl Crow's music during my college years. 

One thing I remember about the song as well is that Sheryl Crow wore a short skirt for the video. Something that a guy during his adolescent years will keenly remember. 

I've been long, a long way from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes,
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

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

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
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes
And everywhere in between
Well, O.K. 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
