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 head lights 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 OK, I'm sad, not blue OK, 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 1 thing I've found Things get better second time around Return, many happy returns These are the lessons that I could have learned Return, many happy returns And these are the letters I should have burned OK I'm sad, not blue OK, 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 And now she's gone, she's gone away But now she's gone forget her I'm coming back no other day So why resurrect her? Many happy returns, many happy returns These are the lessons I should have learned Many happy returns, many happy returns And these are the letters I should have burned

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 head lights 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
OK, I'm sad, not blue
OK, 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 1 thing I've found
Things get better second time around
Return, many happy returns
These are the lessons that I could have learned
Return, many happy returns
And these are the letters I should have burned
OK I'm sad, not blue
OK, 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
And now she's gone, she's gone away
But now she's gone forget her
I'm coming back no other day
So why resurrect her?
Many happy returns, many happy returns
These are the lessons I should have learned
Many happy returns, many happy returns
And these are the letters I should have burned
I love this song and the album but this seems rather awkward.
Love this song.
