Make Me Happy

by: Bobby Bloom

You're a her, I'm a him
Ain't no position
That I'd rather be in
So, get it up, get it on
Get it going fore
The night is gone
[CHORUS]
Make me happy
Do the thing only you can do
Make, come on and
Make me happy
I'll do my best to
Make you happy too
Chicken lay, rooster crow
Nothing tricky, I'm just
Loving you so
Sunrise, sunset
I won't remember if
You let me forget
[Repeat CHORUS]
I've been up, I've been down
I ain't never been turned around
You make me weak, make me strong
Take it easy, make it last real long
[Repeat CHORUS]
(Make me happy)
Come on and make me happy
(Make me happy)
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
[Repeat CHORUS]
Make, make me happy
