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 headlights
In the highlights of her hair
Hit the headlines
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
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 headlights
In the highlights of her hair
Hit the headlines
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
