ABC - Many Happy Returns текст песни

When I accepted this job

I was resigned to my fate

When I got there early

Shed arrive late

You can say shes 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 whats good,

But I know what trash is

In the head-lights,

In the highlights of her hair...

Hit the head lines

But shes not there:

_ chorus:

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, Im sad, not blue

Okay, remember

All that matters to me now

Is the message I sent her

Like the world, spinning round

On its axis, uh-huh

I know democracy

But I know whats fascist

When shes gone, all I got to learn

Is the law of diminishing return

When shes here, one thing Ive found

Things get better second time around

_ chorus

Okay Im sad, not blue

Okay, remember

All that matters to me now

Is the message I sent her

Now shes gone, shes gone away

Now shes gone forget her

Coming back another day

If youd only let her

Now shes gone, shes gone away

But shes gone forget her

Coming back another day

So why resurrect her?

_ chorus
