Happy Birthday

Lyrics

Happy Birthday you're 18 The only thing that means Is you're old enough to strip Still too young to have a grip On the high cost of each dollar The impact of your father Or every shitty guy you'll date Every piss poor decision you'll make She's taking all her notes in pencil Intend to contradict themselves, and half of what they say She's learning that rules can bend that way They say you measure a man by the way he stands Could you kick those heels off baby and still walk tall? She's staying up, she's working hard for the money tonight (hard for the money tonight) She's learning all that life can give and take away She's staying up, she's working hard for the money tonight (hard for the money tonight) She's learning all that life can give and take away Pretty miss Mary, Mary quite contrary won't stay this pretty forever Because miss Mary, Mary things will get hairy Drug habits make it hard to keep a body together They say you measure a man by the way he stands Could you kick those heels off baby and still walk tall? She's staying up, she's working hard for the money tonight (hard for the money tonight) She's learning all that life can give and take away She's staying up, she's working hard for the money tonight (hard for the money tonight) She's learning all that life can give and take away Pretty miss Mary, Mary quite contrary won't stay this pretty forever Because miss Mary, Mary things will get hairy Drug habits make it hard to keep a body together She's staying up, she's working hard for the money tonight (hard for the money tonight) She's learning all that life can give and take away She's staying up, she's working hard for the money tonight (hard for the money tonight) She's learning all that life can give and take away Happy Birthday you're 18 The only thing that means Is you're old enough to strip Still too young to have a grip
