What Makes You Happy Songtext
von Liz Phair

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 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

But mom, I′m sending you this photograph
I swear this one is gonna 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 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


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
