Lyric
Hello darlin’ happy birthdayI’ve decided not to give you a present this yearIn fact I think it’s about time I took some things awayI’d like to take away this suspicion that I know clouds your world at timesBy giving you some faith to hold on to honey whenever your hand is not in mineHappy birthday darlin’ I’ve no presents, no fancy cakeBut I hope I’ll make you happy with everything I takeI’d like to take away some of your lonely moments, by spendin’ more of mine with youAnd I’d like to take away some of those so-so kissesAnd replace them with ones that really say I love youAnd I wanna take away the doubt you sometimes have about my loveBy showin’ more much more that I’ve shown latelyAnd then if someone said asked you what I’ve got you for your birthdayWell you can say, why, he didn’t give me anything, but he sure took a lotta things awayHappy birthday darlin’ I’ve no presents, no fancy cakeBut I hope I’ll make you happy with everything I takeHappy birthday darlin’ I’ve no presents, no fancy cakeBut I hope I’ll make you happy with everything I takeHappy birthday darlin’
