lyrics

Try To Have A Happy Birthday

The worries won't be kept at bay
You'll beg but they will not obey
So try to have a happy birthday anyway

You would like to runaway
But it's here to your dismay
So try to have a happy birthday anyway

You hope your friends won't disregard
Well keep on hoping
You'll just discover one e-card
That you can't open

Pain will be right on display
All your tears come into play
But try to have a happy birthday anyway
The skies will be a gloomy gray
You'll wish that you were born in May
But try to have a happy birthday anyway

Someone will play that Beatles song
And think it's clever
Most good intentions will go wrong
And hurt forever
A day when you must reflect
But reflections you must reject

Little creases get a little deeper
As the jokers sing Don't Fear The Reaper

You hit the age when you will start
To lie about it
Although you know deep in your heart
That people doubt it
Parties will not be thrown
And she will not ring your phone

It's official, you are not a sleeper
Slowly you're becoming the old weeper
You are kept but no one is your keeper
All the cheap talk gets a little cheaper
