What Makes You Happy Lyrics

But don't worry, mom, I met him in a restaurant

And all this time I've been getting to know him

He's got an ex-wife in Pasadena

And sometimes she's a mess to deal with

But mostly we've been living here uninjured

There's a silence, and she says:

"Listen here young lady

All that matter is what makes you happy

But you leave this house knowing my opinion

won't make you love me if you don't care to."

But mom, I'm sending you this photograph,

I swear this one is going to last

And all those other bastards were only practice

I feel the sun on my back

I smell the earth in my skin

I see the sky above me like a full recovery

"Listen here young lady

All that matters is what makes you happy

But you leave this house knowing my opinion

Won't make you love me if you don't care." 

"Listen here young lady

All that matters is what makes you happy

But you leave this house knowing my opinion

Won't make a difference if you're not ready

"Listen here young lady

All that matters is what makes you happy

But you leave this house knowing my opinion

Won't make you love me if you don't care." 

"Listen here young lady

All that matters is what makes you happy

But you leave this house knowing my opinion

Won't make you love me if you don't care."

Make you love me if you don't care
