Intro

 You were saving the date

 But you woke up too late

 Pulled the covers down over your head

 You haven't left your front door

 For a week maybe more

 Tell me, hey, what's the news from your bed

 You know your face is all covered with your birthday cake

 That you're eating in the kitchen at home

 Another banner year, a splendid day

 Another inch or two that you've grown

 But it's hard to celebrate on your own

 There's a mouse in the cupboard that nibbles your crumbs

 And you talk to him every night

 You say, 'Hey, Mr. Whiskers, I'm bored and I'm numb

 You can stay if you just treat me right'

 Just last year you were fortunate baby

 And your friends circled around you in droves

 Are they thinking of you? Maybe just maybe

 But not a one has bothered to phone

 Tell me where, oh, where did they go?

Interlude

x4

Called a car about an hour ago

 You're gonna take yourself out

 Despite the cold and snow

 Did they forget about you?

 Are they in on it too?

 You're sitting looking in the mirror

 At your dancing shoes

 When your family calls you make nice to them all

 And assure them you're fine and you're great

 Then you cry in the bath, cry so hard that you laugh

 Then you watch television til late

Who do you need? Nobody

 You're lucky nobody's around

 I can pour my own drinks

No thanks, Mister. Go on, and get out of town

 And you're gorgeous in your evening gown
