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 'round 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?
Called a car
About an hour ago
You're gonna take yourself out
Despite the cold and the snow
Did they forget about you?
Are they in on it too?
You sit and 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
And 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, get out of town
And you're gorgeous in your evening gown...
