ABC - Many Happy Returns lyrics
[ABC - Many Happy Returns lyrics]
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:
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 it's 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
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
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?
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
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:
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 it's 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
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
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?
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
