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've got to learn
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net ]
Is the law of diminishing return
When she? s here one thing I? ve 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 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

And now she? s gone, she? s gone away
But now she? s 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
