I Just Wanna Make You Happy

(album: Cherish - 1972)

I'm just a tambourine man,
A lonely one man street band.
So many people near me,
Won't someone stop and hear me?
Street light, shine bright
You are my only spotlight.

Only wanna make you happy
When I sing I'll make you happy.
Won't you let me sing my songs for you?

My songs they sound much better
When people start to gather.
I play for dimes and pennies,
But if you haven't any,
Don't mind. Showtime!
I'll make you smile in no time

Only wanna make you happy
When I sing I'll make you happy.
Won't you let me sing my songs for you?

Here on the corner
Where I sing and play,
Where I'm the biggest star they've seen today.
And that's good enough for me,
And that's what I wanna be.

Only wanna make you happy
When I sing I'll make you happy.
Won't you let me sing my songs for you?
