Many Happy Returns Lyrics - The Lexicon Of Love - Abc

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 

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've got to learn 

Is the law of diminishing return 

When shes here one thing Ive found 

Things get better second time around 

Return, many happy returns 

These are the lessons that 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 

Now shes gone, shes gone away 

Now shes gone forget her 

Coming back another day 

If youd only let her 

And now shes gone, shes gone away 

But now shes gone forget her 

I'm coming back no other day 

So why resurrect her? 

Many happy returns, many happy returns 

These are the lessons I should have learned 

Many happy returns, many happy returns 

And these are the letters I should have burned
