There she sits all alone, her tear begins to shed
A written letter in her hand, this is how it read

Turned sixteen just yesterday (ooh ooh ooh)
All my world was bright and gay (ooh ooh ooh)
Thought for sure you'd write or call but you didn't after all
Got the Happy Birthday Blues (Happy Birthday Blues)

Maybe you had lots to do (ooh ooh ooh)
Or you found somebody new (ooh ooh ooh)
How I pray you'll hear my plea, I'm as lonely as can be
Got the Happy Birthday Blues (Happy Birthday Blues)

I planned just how this day would be for such a long, long time
You'd wish me "Happy Birthday" while I held your hand in mine
I'd blow out all the candles while I wished that you and I
Would be together ever more until the day we die

As I sit here in the gloom (ooh ooh ooh)
Of my cold and lonely room (ooh ooh ooh)
How my heart is filled with fears and my eyes are filled with tears
Got the Happy Birthday Blues (Happy Birthday Blues)
