Happy Birthday

I called him up today To wish him well on his birthday I'd sing to him over and over if he asked me I'd sing until I'm breathless if he told me I'd do anything he wanted done For I know he is THE ONE My fingers in a quiver, I dialled his number Waiting for him to pick up But another voice answered my call This voice is not familiar at all The excitement I felt before was erased Everything I held dear was taken away She's his honey, she told me Well, how could that be? When only yesterday, he said tenderly I am his one and only baby If only I'd kept my eyes open Today's news won't leave me broken Anguish fills me as I recall Those days when I thought I'd fall I'd be in love once again I thought he's different from other men He'd never even dare hurt me For it is I he loves deeply Today I must accept he wasn't true Today I already know he wouldn't do But I think I should celebrate This cruel twist of fate Happy birthday not to him, but to me From the lies I am finally free.
