只要你快乐
《只要你快乐》（英语：Born to Make You Happy）是美国流行女歌手布兰妮·斯皮尔斯演唱的一首歌曲，由安德烈亚斯·卡尔森和克里斯蒂安·伦丁创作编写。收录在布兰妮的首张录音室专辑《爱的初告白》中，作为专辑中的第四波单曲，由Jive唱片发行于1999年12月6日。这首歌曲是布兰妮早期的经典作品之一，获得了全球性的商业成功，尤其在欧洲地区取得了显著的成绩。
创作背景
《只要你快乐》首次录制于1998年3月，并于同年4月在斯德哥尔摩的Cheiron工作室重录。布兰妮在录制歌曲之前，由于原版歌词带有少儿不宜的性爱内容，要求歌曲的词曲作者进行重写。这一点布兰妮·斯皮尔斯在接受《滚石杂志》杂志采访时已透露。歌曲的混制工作由马克斯·马丁负责。布兰妮最初设想的音乐风格是类似雪莉·克劳的音乐，但更年轻，更成熟。然而，她同意了唱片公司指定的制作人，他们的目标是吸引当时的青少年观众。布兰妮与制作人Max Martin、Denniz Pop和Rami Yacoub等合作，从1998年5月开始在Cheiron Studios录制专辑的一半。《只要你快乐》是Kristian Lundin创作和制作，Andreas Carlsson共同创作的作品，是这对二人的第一部作品。
歌曲风格与评价
《只要你快乐》是一首持续四分零三秒的青少年流行和舞蹈流行曲。歌曲以B小调编写，拍子为常规拍子，节奏为每分钟84拍。阿比盖尔·斯皮尔斯的音域跨越了一个八度，从F♯3到B4。歌词讲述了一个女人希望纠正的关系，她并不完全理解出了什么问题，她意识到自己“不知道怎么没有你的爱/我生来就是为了让你快乐”。这首歌的和弦进行是Bm–G–D–A。《只要你快乐》收到了来自音乐评论家的褒贬不一的评价。一些评论家称赞了斯皮尔斯的歌声，并认为这是一首早期的经典，但也有批评歌曲信息的声音。
商业成绩
《只要你快乐》在全球范围内取得了商业成功，在爱尔兰取得了冠军，并在比利时、欧洲、芬兰、德国、荷兰、挪威、瑞典和瑞士进入了单曲榜前5名。在英国，歌曲获得了冠军，成为布兰妮·斯皮尔斯在英国第6畅销的单曲。
音乐录像带与演出
《只要你快乐》的音乐录像带由Billie Woodruff导演。在音乐录像带中，布兰妮梦见自己和恋人在一起，并和舞伴们共舞。布兰妮在自己的4场巡回演唱会都表演了此歌曲。
歌曲歌词
I'm sitting here alone up in my room
And thinking about the times that we've been through, oh my love
I'm looking at a picture in my hand
Trying my best to understand
I really wanna know what we did wrong
With a love that felt so strong
If only you were here tonight
I know that we could make it right
I don't know how to live without your love
I was born to make you happy
'Cause you're the only one within my heart
I was born to make you happy
Always and forever you and me
That's the way our life should be
I don't know how to live without your love
I was born to make you happy
I know I've been a fool since you've been gone
I'd better give it up and carry on, oh my love
'Cause living in a dream of you and me
Is not the way my life should be
I don't wanna cry a tear for you
So forgive me if I do
If only you were here tonight
I know that we could make it right
I don't know how to live without your love
I was born to make you happy
'Cause you're the only one within my heart
I was born to make you happy
Always and forever you and me
That's the way our life should be
I don't know how to live without your love
I was born to make you happy
I'd do anything, I'd give you my world
I'd wait forever, to be your girl
Just call out my name and I will be there
Just to show you, how much I care
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
I was born to make you happy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't know how to live without your love
I was born to make you happy
'Cause you're the only one within my heart
I was born to make you happy
Always and forever you and me
That's the way our life should be
I don't know how to live without your love
I was born to make you happy
Oh no
I was born to make you happy
Oh yeah, oh, oh
Always and forever you and me
That's the way our life should be
I don't know how to live without your love
I was born to make you happy
