<male intro>
there she sits all alone, her tear begins to shed
a written letter in her hand, this is how it read:

turned sixteen just yesterday (ooh-ooh-ooh)
all my world was bright and gay (ooh-ooh-ooh)
thought for sure you'd write or call but you didn't after all
got the happy birthday blues (happy birthday blues)
Maybe you had lots to do (ooh-ooh-ooh)
or you found somebody new (ooh-ooh-ooh)
how i pray you'll hear my plea, i'm as lonely as can be
got the happy birthday blues (happy birthday blues)
i planned just how this day would be for such a long, long time
you'd wish me "happy birthday" while i held your hand in mine
i'd blow out all the candles while i wished that you and i
would be together ever more until the day we die
As i sit here in the gloom (ooh-ooh-ooh)
of my cold and lonely room (ooh-ooh-ooh)
how my heart is filled with fears and my eyes are filled with tears
got the happy birthday blues (happy birthday blues)
