ABC "Many Happy Returns" |
When I accepted this job, I was resigned to my fate When I got there early, she'd arrive late You can say she's gone forever or just sit tight and wait She said I was unprincipled, that I was not the first Like the Phoenix coming back from the ashes, uh-huh I know what's good, but I know what trash is In the head lights, in the highlights of her hair Hit the headlines, but she's not there Many happy returns, many happy returns These are the lessons I could have learned Return, many happy returns And these are the letters I should have burned Okay, I'm sad not blue, okay, remember All that matters to me now is the message I sent her Like the world spinning 'round on its axis, uh-huh I know democracy, but I know what's fascist When she's gone, all I've got to learn Is the law of diminishing return When she's here, one thing I've found Things get better second time around Return, many happy returns These are the lessons I could have learned Return, many happy returns And these are the letters I should have burned Okay, I'm sad not blue, okay, remember All that matters to me now is the message I sent her Now she's gone, she's gone away Now she's gone forget her Coming back another day if you'd only let her Now she's gone, she's gone away But now she's gone, forget her Coming back another day, so why resurrect her Many happy returns, many happy returns These are the lessons we should have learned Many happy returns, many happy returns And these are the letters I should have burned Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
