You can climb a mountain
You can swim the sea
You can jump into the fire
But you'll never be free
You can shake me up
Or I can bring you down
Whoa, whoa
We can make each other happy
Oh we can make each other happy
We can make each other happy
We can make each other happy

You can climb a mountain
Swim the sea
You can jump into the fire
But you'll never be free
No, no
You can shake me up
Or I can bring you down
whoa, whoa
We can make each other happy
Oh we can make each other happy
Oh we can make each other happy
We can make each other happy

You can climb a mountain
you can swim the sea
You can jump into the fire
But you'll never be free
You can shake me up
Or I can bring you down
Whoa, whoa
We can make each other happy
Oh we can make each other happy
We can make each other happy
We can make each other happy

You can climb a mountain
Swim the sea
You can jump into the fire
But you'll never be free
No, no
You can shake me up
Or I can bring you down
Whoa, whoa
We can make each other happy
Oh we can make each other happy
Oh we can make each other happy
We can make each other happy

    General Comment:This song is GREAT in the extended version when you can hear the bass really go down low. You need a great sound system, though, and it'll rattle your windows. My favorite Nilsson song and while I have the "best of", they used the short version on the CD - bummer.

    General Comment:I just heard this on Goodfellas again, and was always unsure who did this song. I always thought it was an INXS song! I dunno, it sounds like Michael Hutchence singing.

    General Comment:However short the lyrics are, this song has a killer bass riff and always gets me going. I love this song for Nilsson's crazy singing and the wicked bass. With a subwoofer this song POUNDS. It was also in Goodfellas, and just fits the scene perfectly. Great song.
