Lyrics

Yeah

It is your birthday
The one real special day
Believe when I say
Happy birthday!

Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a slice of cake
Tell me why
Your presents were a mistake
Tell me why
I really want to hear you say
You had a great birthday

Is your cake on fire?
It's so, so bright there
Yes I know it's too late
Someone call the fire brigade!

Tell me why
Ain't nothing but some muffins to bake
Tell me why
Your presents were a mistake
Tell me why
I really want to hear you say
I can have a piece of cake!

Now I can see this party's falling apart
From the way that it should have been (Yeah!)
No matter the distance
I can still smell the smoke
And deep down inside of me

Your cake is on fire
The one disaster
Water (water! water! water!)
Put out the fire!

Ain't nothing but a heart ache (Yeah!)
Lighting candles was a mistake (I wanna hear you say!)
I really want to hear you say (Oh yeah!)
You had a great birthday
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' left to celebrate
Tell me why
Just make the most of this mistake
Tell me why
I really wanna hear you say (I wanna hear you say!)
You had a great birthday
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' left to celebrate
Just make the most of this mistake
Tell me why
I really want to hear you say (really wanna hear you say)
You had a great birthday
