Make You Happy Lyrics

[Intro]
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

[Verse 1]
Baby, you ain't trying
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


[Chorus]
All I wanna do is make you happy
All I wanna do is make you happy
All I wanna do is make you happy

[Verse 2]
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


[Pre-Chorus]
Undervalued
I can't be far from the truth
Maybe I knew
Hardly a bolt from the blue
[Chorus]
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


[Verse 3]
Love then 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

[Pre-Chorus]
Undervalued
I can't be far from the truth
Maybe I knew
Hardly a bolt from the blue

[Chorus]
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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

MIKA explained to The Sun why he used robotic vocals for this track:
“The song is basically a very modern take on a very old concept,” he said. “It takes the idea of a really old love song and turns it futuristic. It’s almost like a conversation between a robot and me. And also the chorus has the lyrics, ‘All I want to do is make you happy’ — they are very tender, like a mantra, and go round and round but are said by this vocoder voice, like a robot’s voice.”

A music video was made based around the themes of the song. “I commissioned a short film which I felt perfectly captured the sentiment of the track,” said Mika. “The film was directed by Iouri Philippe Paillé and was made in Montreal. This is where the entire album started taking shape a year ago with Nick Littlemore at Planet Studios in Papineau.”
