lyrics
Happy Birthday, I heard you're throwing a party for your new girlfriend
and when she comes down the stairs I bet that she looks really pretty
and it's like that scene in every single movie
that was made in the 1980s
And it's really funny how you planned that
'cause either you stay together forever
or you go your separate ways and break each other's hearts
and one day you'll wake up to find her gone,
surprise
Happy Birthday, I guess you're a whole year older
do you feel a whole year wiser?
Do you ever, ever miss me?
I bet I never cross your mind anymore
I bet I never come up in conversation
and you still cross mine from time to time
there's just nothing I can do about it
I can tell you want her by the way you look at her
oh, what I would give if you would look at me like that one time
like I said something funny
like I'm wearing something pretty
like I said something intelligent that changed your way of thinking
and it's really funny how you planned that
either you stay together forever
or you go your separate ways and break each other's hearts
and one day I woke up to find you gone.
Surprise!
