Ya, Happy Birthday to the Blues It's the one excuse I have to use Cause on this day I got the news Your lovin' heart I'd lose You couldn't tell me face to face Like normal people do Or send an e-mail in its place Telling me that we were through You couldn't ring me on my cell Though it only cost a dime I was the one you didn't tell Guess you couldn't spare the time So Happy Birthday to the Blues It's the one excuse I have to use Cause on this day I got the news Your lovin' heart I'd lose Maybe a letter to tell me why You thought you had to go Or written by a plane up in the sky Instead you tell all those I know I felt no hate but it's a sin The hurt you gave to me So today it's birthday cake and gin I'm so happy that you're free Now Happy Birthday to the Blues It's the one excuse I have to use Cause on this day I got the news Your lovin' heart I'd lose It could have been a sweet cake Devils Food or Chocolate Rum But bitter sweet I'll gladly take Now I wait for sleep to come Almond flavored creamy fill Hides the strychnine's bitter taste My eyes are heavy got a chill Sweet cake like love laid me to waste Singing Happy Birthday to the Blues It's that one excuse I used before But on the day I got the news Will be my last no less no more
