Happy Only

I don't wanna make you happy.
I don't wanna make you happy.
I don't wanna make you happy only.

Anyone could make you happy.
Anyone could make you happy.
I want the reason you breathe to be me.

You don't have to call me kitten 
and you don't have to call me doll.
I'm just wanting to be called
yours, that's all, that's all.

I don't want my side of the bed.
No I don't want my side of the bed.
I just want to lay next to you
with my head on your chest.

I don't care if you pull covers.
I don't care if I freeze.
Pull 'em all you want, I don't care
cuz I've got you laying next to me.

I want you to cry.
I want you to cry. 
I want you to cry when I'm not in sight.

You don't have to worship the ground 
my feet touch.
Just wanting me around
is enough, is enough.
I'll never walk on your love.
No. I'll never walk on your love.

I want you to be happy
waking up to me.
But I don't want to make you happy only.
Any girl could make you happy,
I want my love to be the reason you breathe.
