Lyric Happy Birthday

(Carly Simon)

It s all of our birthdays this summer
One number older, another year younger
I ll go to your party, you ll come to mine
We ve given up cigarettes, we ve given up wine
We ve given up caffeine and sworn off desserts
I don t try to seduce you, we don t even flirt
We re too good to be happy, too straight to be sad
So just blow out the candles, Happy Birthday

Stay out of the ocean, stay out of the sun
Stay in perfect shape and be number one
We ve got brilliant excuses for having no fun
So blow out the candles, Happy BirthdayMake love in the microwave
Think of all the time you ll save
And don t forget to make it look
As though you re working very very hard

But I ll be your lover if you will be mine
We ll go back to the garden and have a good time
And if I m offered an apple, I ll politely decline
And just blow out the candles
Happy Birthday
