How Can I Make You Happy

Matt Mahaffey

[Verse 1]
I gave you all the love I could but you're not happy yet
I carved your portrait out of wood but you're not happy yet
I sold my credit to the devil for a bedroom set
But you're not happy yet, and I'm just losing it

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Now I can pretend, yeah (he can pretend)
That love is just really blind, but in the end
I guess it's deaf, too (she's reeling you in)
Sinker, hook, and line

[Chorus]
There's a mermaid swimming in the sea
Who doesn't care about all of these things
There's a mermaid swimming under me
I'm going overboard to see what could be

[Verse 2]
I got the curtains that you wanted, you're not happy yet
I bought the shoes that you flaunt and you're not happy yet
Big screen plasma TV, high-speed internet
But you're not happy yet, actions I regret

[Pre-Chorus 2]
When we first met (girl, what did you see?)
'Cause I just saw your smile, but in the end
What do you miss most? (the money or me?)
I'd say I miss my mind

[Chorus]
There's a mermaid swimming in the sea
Who doesn't care about all of these things
There's a mermaid swimming under me
I'm jumping overboard to see what could be

[Bridge]
You know you always tell me
That he who dies with the most toys wins, well
That's one game I'm just willing to lose

[Verse 3]
I bought you gold and diamond rings and you're not happy yet
I bought you soft and cuddly things but you're not happy yet
I bought the cars, the house, the pool, the clothes, the private jet
And I'm just a mess, and you're still not impressed

[Pre-Chorus 3]
And now I realize (what in the world)
Was I thinking before?
You're like a song that's as evil as your actions (material girl)
So go back to '84

[Chorus]
There's a mermaid swimming in the sea
Who doesn't care about material things
There's a mermaid swimming under me
I'm going overboard to see what could be
There's a mermaid swimming in the sea
Who doesn't care about all of these things
There's a mermaid swimming under me
I'm jumping overboard to see what could be

[Outro]
I'm jumping overboard to see what could be
I'm jumping overboard to see what could be
I'm jumping overboard to see what could be
I'm jumping overboard to see what could be
