[Verse 1]
Thirty nine candles burn out on a cake
Each representing a million mistakes
The last one still burns, there is a wish I can make
This time I am getting it right

So I close my eyes and I take a deep breath
And I promise myself in the time I have left

[Chorus]
I am going to work like I do not need the money
I am going to laugh like I am not afraid to cry
I am going to dance like nobody is watching
I am going to love while I still got the time

[Verse 2]
Loving me has not been easy on you
I do not know why but I know you still do
It maybe my day but here is a present for you
You are looking at your new man

He is sincere and sober and faithful and kind
And he is home when you need girl and starting tonight

[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
No more excuses and no more me doing things wrong
Life is too short baby; I have wasted ours for too long
And baby from now on

[Chorus] [x2]
