Happy Happy Birthday Baby

Happy happy birthday baby although you're with somebody new
Though I'd drop a line to say that I wish this happy day
Would find me beside you
Happy happy birthday baby no I can't call you my baby
Seems like years ago we met on a day I can't forget
Cause that's when we fell in love
Do you remember the names we had for each other
I was your pretty I was your baby oh how we could say goodbye
Hope I didn't spoil your birthday I'm not acting like a lady
So I'll close this note to you with good luck and wishes too
Happy happy birthday baby
