lyrics
Well it ain't my birthday or my anniversary
Got nobody here to celebrate, 'cept I, myself & me
Got no lights turned off, got no candle on a cake
Got nobody singing to me, it's almost more than I can take
I wanna have a good time, but I got bad luck
I wanna stay up all night, but this party sucks
I got more than enough to eat, got plenty of beer
I would throw somebody out, but there ain't nobody here
Ain't gonna break no laws, aint' gonna start a fight
Gonna sit back and relax, and maybe call it a night
I wanna have a good time, but I got bad luck
I wanna stay up all night, but this party sucks
What didn't I say?
What didn't I do?
How come there's no one here except me and... me?
I wanna have a good time, but I got bad luck
I wanna stay up all night, but this party sucks
I wanna party all night, I wanna get myself drunk
And I'm never gonna tell how much this party stunk!
