I heard your best friend say he shouldn't have treated you that way
He could've been a little bit kinder
He didn't give you no gift, didn't send you no smoke
You didn't even get a reminder

It's too bad (Yeah), it's too bad (That's right)
It's too bad on your birthday (Oh, you know that it's)
Too bad (Baby), too bad (Yeah)
Too bad on your birthday

You were my lover once, it lasted several months
And I was in love, even blinder
When you left me, I cried, my tears haven't dried
So I'll leave you this little reminder

(You know that it's) Too bad (Baby), it's too bad (That's right)
It's too bad on your birthday (Oh yeah, I said)
Too bad (Too bad), it's too bad (Too bad)
It's too bad on your birthday (Too bad on your birthday, baby)

Check it, baby

Too bad, too bad
Too bad on your birthday (Mmm-hmm)
Too bad (Hmm-hmm), too bad (Hmm-hmm)
Too bad on your birthday (Hey, hey, hey)
Too bad (Too bad), too bad (Too bad)
Too bad on your birthday (Boo-hoo, baby)
It's too bad (I said it), too bad (Too bad)
Too bad on your birthday (Ooh)

Now you're the girl with cake on your face
Yes, you're the one who's cryin'
Blow out the candles and make a wish
And if you need a drink, baby, I'll buy it

Yeah, it's too bad (Baby), it's too bad (That's right)
Too bad on your birthday (Yeah, babe, it is)
It's too bad (Too bad), too bad (Too bad)
Too bad on your birthday (Ooh, babe, I said)

It's too bad (Too bad), too bad (That's right)
Too bad on your birthday (Too bad on your birthday)
Too bad (Too bad), too bad (Oh yeah)
Too bad on your birthday (Cheers, baby, cheers)

Happy birthday to you
