[VERSE 1]
First you take off your hat
Then you shake off those brand new shoes
'Hey George, what have you got to lose?'
With my hand on your thigh
I just look you in the eye and I say
'Not a whole lot, baby
But a whole lot more than you'
[Chorus]
I can make you happy (yeah, yeah)
Don't you know that?
She said
I can make you happy (yeah, yeah)
I can make you happy (yeah, yeah)
[VERSE 2]
Boys and girls [girls, girls]
The ones who kiss and tell
Why should we have to believe them?
No, I don't understand
How any woman, how any man
Can say 'Lay me down, lay me down'
For that big stash-cheap cash-think about the money
[Chorus]
I can make you happy (yeah, yeah)
Don't you, don't you know that?
He said
I can make you happy (yeah, yeah)
(huh)
[Chorus]
I can make you happy (yeah, yeah)
Don't you, don't you know that?
He said
I can make you happy (yeah, yeah)
(Minks)
(Cash)
(Sex)
And these are the things that keep you happy, honey
[BRIDGE]
I've seen you in the corner
With your rub-it-on tan
Hitching a ride
Could be a woman or a man
Gonna get what you want before too long
Gonna take your opportunities
Right or wrong
Some poor cow with a seven-year itch?
You don't dig men
But you'll fuck' em if they're rich
You can't be with me
You're a lowlife daughter of a son of a bitch
You know
[Chorus]
I can make you happy (yeah, yeah)
Don't you, don't you know that?
He said
I can make you happy (yeah, yeah)
You know (oh-ho)
[Chorus x4]
I can make you happy (yeah, yeah)
Don't you, don't you know that?
She said
I can make you happy (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah
Huh
Oh-oh
(I can make you happy)
Dum dum dum da-dum da dum
First you take off your hat
