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 head lines
But she`s not there:
_ chorus:
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 got to learn
Is the law of diminishing return
When she`s here, one thing I`ve found
Things get better second time around
_ chorus
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 she`s gone forget her
Coming back another day
So why resurrect her?
_ chorus
