[Verse 1]
This year you survived through it all
A cosmic apocalypse, a stab to the heart
You say, "What is life worth living for?
Now he's in perfect step on her new dance floor"

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
There is a gift I can give you
Sometimes in life a girl must tango alone
Don't be afraid to tango alone
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Birthday, baby

[Verse 2]
It was not enough that he left
On his way out he had to slash your confidence
You don't need a party for a party dress
After all it was you who taught him his dance steps

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Bring those killer heels with you
Sometimes in life a girl must tango alone
With a sultry night and a steady lamp post
So what if you find you like to tango alone?
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Birthday, baby
Baby, birthday, baby
