lyrics

So what's all this fussing all about?
I'm aware of the number, did you forget that I can count?
It's not the occasion to get up to twist and shout
I'm getting old but why the need to point it out?

So now I'm halfway ‘round the track
I'm a long way from the finish and it's too far for turning back
Don't give me no more surprise parties or you'll give me a heart attack
I might be smiling but you know it's all an act

CHORUS
And it's a happy birthday just for me
I appreciate you coming, was there nothing on TV?
I don't need no cake or candles but I could use some sympathy
And when you leave I'll sing a happy birthday just for me

I'm not the man I used to be
Due to cell regeneration this is version number three
So yeah, let's celebrate the birth of one who might have once been me
Oh, I sure could use a little privacy

Switch off the phone and lock the door
It's the one day in each year it's my intention to ignore
Oh, I'm surely not alone in thinking birthdays are a bore
The only present that I want is not to have them anymore

CHORUS
And it's a happy birthday just for me
I'm so glad you couldn't make it, was there something on TV?
I don't need no cake or candles but I could use some sympathy
And when you leave I'll sing a happy birthday
When you leave I'll sing a happy birthday
When you leave I'll sing a happy birthday just for me
