Make You Happy
Mika Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All I wanna do is make you happy
All I wanna do is make you happy
All I wanna do is make you happy
All I wanna do is make you happy
All I wanna do is make you happy
All I wanna do is make you happy

Baby you ain't tryin'
If I said I'm upbeat, I'd be lying
Show me what you're hiding
But if this is love then watch me die on you

All I wanna do is make you happy
All I wanna do is make you happy
All I wanna do is make you happy

Maybe you can't hear me
But I feel like screaming when you're near me
Save me from your theories
At the very least just let me cry on you

Undervalued
I can't be far from the truth
Maybe I knew
Hardly a bolt from the blue

All I wanna do is make you happy
All I wanna do is make you happy
All I wanna do is make you happy
All I wanna do is make you happy
All I wanna do is make you happy
All I wanna do is make you happy

Love and hate each other
If we can't get it together
You know we'll never ever ever
Fix a heart don't break it
Can't you see the love around you?
You know you're crazy not to take it

Undervalued
I can't be far from the truth
Maybe I knew
Hardly a bolt from the blue

All I wanna do is make you happy
All I wanna do is make you happy
All I wanna do is make you happy
All I wanna do is make you happy
All I wanna do is make you happy
All I wanna do is make you happy

Whatchu gonna do? I am not over you
Whatchu gonna do? I am not over you
Whatchu gonna do? I am not over you
Whatchu gonna do? I am not over you

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna sort you out
When's it gonna hit ya?
I'm never gonna let you down

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna sort you out
When's it gonna hit ya?
I'm never gonna let you down

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna sort you out
When's it gonna hit ya?
I'm never gonna let you down

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna sort you out
When's it gonna hit ya?

All I wanna do is make you happy




All I wanna do is make you happy
