You've Made Me so Very Happy
Blood Sweat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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)
The lyrics of Blood Sweat & Tears's song "You've Made Me so Very Happy" convey a feeling of gratitude and love towards a significant other. The song's narrator reveals that they had lost at love before but was encouraged by their partner to try once more, and the chance encounter has turned their life around. The partner has been so kind that the singer is about to lose their mind, and it has made them incredibly happy. The singer's previous romantic experiences, with others who were untrue, only strengthened their belief in the power of the connection that they have found. The chorus repeats that the singer is grateful that their partner came into their life, that they made them happy, and that they want to spend their life thanking them.
The song's lyrics were written by Berry Gordy, Jr., Brenda Holloway, Frank Wilson, and Patrice Holloway. Holloway originally recorded the song in 1967, but the Blood Sweat & Tears version, released in 1969, is the most well-known. The song's jazzy, soulful sound was a hallmark of Blood Sweat & Tears's music, and the band's brass section adds a triumphant flair to the song's already joyful lyrics.

I lost at love before
I failed in love previously
Got mad and closed the door
I became furious and shut off from love
But you said try just once more
You encouraged me to give love another chance
I chose you for the one
I picked you as the one I want
Now I'm having so much fun
Now I'm enjoying myself
You treated me so kind,
You were so good to me
I'm about to lose my mind
I'm overwhelmed with happiness
You made me so very happy
You brought me so much joy
I'm so glad you came into my life

The others were untrue,
Others had deceived me
But when it came to lovin' you
But with you, love was genuine

You came and took charge

You consistently demonstrated that

Loving you is what it's all about
Thank you baby, yeah yeah
Thank you, darling

I dream of you and can hear your voice

I'm so in love with you
I'm deeply in love with you

All I want is to
