[Verse 1]
If my sadness brought you gladness, I’d be glad to be sad
If my feeling bad made you feel good, I would always feel bad
[Chorus]
And I wouldn’t think twice about the sacrifice
Anything that I’d have to do
‘Cause whatever makes you happy makes me happy too
[Verse 2]
If my tears could make you smile, I could smile through my tears
Oh, your sweet and laughing voice is music to my ears
[Chorus]
Oh, and I wouldn’t think twice about the sacrifice
Anything that I’d have to do
‘Cause whatever makes you happy makes me happy too
[Bridge]
Even if you wanted someone else to take my place
Although I love you so much, I’d still give you up
Just to keep a smile on your face
[Verse 3]
If my woes seem to please you, I’d be pleased with my woe
And if my sorrow brought you joy, I’d enjoy my sorrow
[Chorus]
And I wouldn’t think twice about the sacrifice
Anything that I’d have to do
‘Cause whatever (makes you happy)
Whatever (makes you happy), tell her one more time
(Makes you happy) would make me happy too…
If my sadness brought you gladness, I’d be glad to be sad
If my feeling bad made you feel good, I would always feel bad
[Chorus]
And I wouldn’t think twice about the sacrifice
Anything that I’d have to do
‘Cause whatever makes you happy makes me happy too
[Verse 2]
If my tears could make you smile, I could smile through my tears
Oh, your sweet and laughing voice is music to my ears
[Chorus]
Oh, and I wouldn’t think twice about the sacrifice
Anything that I’d have to do
‘Cause whatever makes you happy makes me happy too
[Bridge]
Even if you wanted someone else to take my place
Although I love you so much, I’d still give you up
Just to keep a smile on your face
[Verse 3]
If my woes seem to please you, I’d be pleased with my woe
And if my sorrow brought you joy, I’d enjoy my sorrow
[Chorus]
And I wouldn’t think twice about the sacrifice
Anything that I’d have to do
‘Cause whatever (makes you happy)
Whatever (makes you happy), tell her one more time
(Makes you happy) would make me happy too…
