How Can I Make You Happy Edit Talk0
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Gave you all the love I could but you're not happy yet
Carved your portrait out of wood but you're not happy yet
I sold my credit to the devil for a bedroom set
But you're not happy yet and I'm just losing it
Now I can pretend, yeah (we can pretend)
That love is just really blind but in the end
I guess it's deaf too (she's reeling you in)
Sinker, hook, and line
There's a mermaid swimming in the sea
Who doesn't care about all of these things
There's a mermaid swimming under me
I'm going overboard to see what could be
I got the curtains that you wanted, you're not happy yet
I bought the shoes that you flaunt and you're not happy yet
Big screen plasma TV, high-speed internet
But you're not happy yet, actions I regret
When we first met (girl, what did you see?)
Cause I just saw your smile but in the end
What do you miss most (the money or me?)
I'd say I miss my mind
There's a mermaid swimming in the sea
Who doesn't care about all of these things
There's a mermaid swimming under me
I'm jumping overboard to see what could be
You know you always tell me
That he who dies with the most toys wins, well
That's one game I'm just willing to lose
I bought you gold and diamond rings and you're not happy yet
I bought you soft and cuddly things but you're not happy yet
I bought the cars, the house, the pool, the clothes, the private jet
And I'm just a mess and you're still not impressed
And now I realize (what in the world)
Was I thinking before? You're like a song
That's as evil as your actions (material girl)
So go back to '84
There's a mermaid swimming in the sea
Who doesn't care about material things
There's a mermaid swimming under me
I'm going overboard to see what could be
There's a mermaid swimming in the sea
Who doesn't care about all of these things
There's a mermaid swimming under me
I'm jumping overboard to see what could be
I'm jumping overboard to see what could be
I'm jumping overboard to see what could be
I'm jumping overboard to see what could be
I'm jumping overboard to see what could be
