Hey you
I know I'm in the wrong
Time flies
When you're having fun
You wake up
Another year is gone
You're twenty-one
I guess you wanna know
Why I'm on the phone
It's been a day or so
I know it's kinda late
But happy birthday
Yeah yeah whoa oh
I know you hate me
Yeah yeah whoa oh
Well I miss you too
Yeah yeah I know
I know it's kinda late
But happy birthday
So hard
When you're far away
It's lame but I forgot the date
I won't make the same mistake
I'm so to blame
Now you know
Don't hang up the phone
I wish I was at home
I know it's way too late
But happy birthday
Yeah yeah whoa oh
I know you hate me
Yeah yeah whoa oh
Well I miss you too
Yeah yeah I know
I know it's kinda late
But happy birthday
It's not that I don't care
You know I'll make it up to you
If I could I'd be there
Yeah yeah whoa oh
Yeah yeah whoa oh
Well I miss you too
Yeah yeah I know
I know it's kinda late
But happy birthday
Yeah yeah whoa oh
I know you hate me
Yeah yeah whoa oh
Well I miss you too
Yeah yeah I know
I know it's kinda late
But happy birthday
To you
