"Birthday Baby" lyrics

"Birthday Baby"

This year
You survived through it all
A cosmic apocalypse
A stab to the heart
You say
"What is life worth living for?
Now he's in perfect step
On her new dance floor"

Happy birthday, happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
There is a gift I can give you
Sometimes in life a girl must tango alone
Don't be afraid to tango alone
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Birthday, baby

It was not enough
That he left
On his way out
He had to slash
Your confidence
You don't need a party for a party dress
After all it was you who
Taught him his dance steps

Happy birthday, happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Bring those killer heels with you
Sometimes in life a girl must tango alone
With a sultry night and a steady lamp post
So what if you find you like to tango alone?
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Birthday, baby
Baby, birthday, baby
