Sha-La-La (Make Me Happy)

Al Green

Make me happy

Sha-la-la-la, la-la-la
Oh, baby
Sha-la-la-la, la-la-la
Oh, baby

I've been gone so long, I don't know what to do, oh, baby
And I know you don't know all I've been going through, baby
Oh, make me happy baby, so I can say

Sha-la-la-la-la-la
And I love you, oh
Sha-la-la-la-la
I'm thinkin' of you, oh

I know you can tell what's on my mind, baby
And I've been feeling this way for such a long time, yeah, baby
Oh, make me happy baby, yeah
Oh, make me happy, I want to be happy, yeah, yeah

Make me happy

Yeah
I've tried and this feeling just won't die, oh
Sha-la-la-la-la
Make you cry, yeah

Well, it's something that just gets down in your bones, baby
And once I see you I can't leave your love alone, yeah, baby
Oh, make me happy, baby
Oh, make me happy, baby, let me sing

Sha-la-la-la-la-la, baby
Oh, let me sing
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, baby

    General CommentBeautiful song about a mans sadness at doing wrong to a girl who only ever brought him happiness. Pure class and sung as only Al Green can!

    General CommentThis song really touches me especially the refrain where he changes tempo and sings
    'I'm trying, this feeling just won't die
    Sha la la la-- la la la Made you cry
    It's something that just gets down in your bones
    And once I see you I can't leave your love alone
    Ya, heh, baby
    Aw, make me happy baby, aw, make me happy baby, let me sing
