This is why we won't delay for your birthday
Secrets that we held that day will be kept straight

All your friends have gone away so let's celebrate
You're holding hope open for the one making you wait

Tell me what you hope to say on your birthday
Secrets that we held that day will be kept straight
Everyone will be dismayed if your promise breaks
But you'll be back again to say who you'll want next

Lights and music are on my mind
Be my baby one more time

Fading with the color you see in my face
Cold and crystal you can't hide as your tears race

I'll be waiting buying time put your dreams away
You're holding hope open for the one making you wait

Lights and music are on my mind
Be my baby one more time
