[Verse 1]
Well, if I had my way
You'd have a birthday every week
And you'd choose to spend them all with me
I'd come down to the bus stop
Say you can't go to work
You'd take my hand faithfully
Then I'd gift wrap my heart
And I'd write you a new song
I'd try to right all your wrongs
I would play with your hair
And suggest what to wear
And I'd paint a smile where it belongs
[Chorus:]
But I know that you're not broken
And I know that you're not bruised
I know I'm easily forgotten
So Happy Birthday You
[Verse 2]
Oh and every week I'd take you someplace you've not been before
I'd try to keep it under wraps
Well we never drove to Paris
And I've never been to Prague
We should try them out, perhaps
Then we can document our travels on a handheld camera
Put them to a themed song in kind
If you've nothing left to show for it
A story never fits
And the notion of the day is undermined
[Chorus:]
[Verse 3]
Well when we get home you're tired
But you don't want to go to bed
So you'll lay in my arms instead
You'd say "tonight was just perfection
I don't want to go to sleep
Can we do the same next week?"
[Chorus:]
But I know that you're not broken
And I know that you're not bruised
I know I'm easily forgotten
So Happy Birthday You
Yeah, I know that you're not broken
And I know that you're not bruised
I know I'm easily forgotten
So happy birthday, you
[Outro]
Happy birthday, you
Happy birthday, you
Happy birthday, you
Happy birthday, you
Happy birthday, you
