I wouldn't want you to take offense
But I returned that gift you sent
I could see that it was just right for you

Why do they say think of yourself
When you choose something for someone else?
My birthday wishes never come true

I should have known
Now that I'm grown
I'm one year older and
I'm not much bolder

You could have warned me
This was the way it was going to be
I wanted a party but
There'll be one next year maybe

To you it's just another day
But my next birthday's so far away
I wish that you had remembered

It seems to be pretty unfair
You're sixteen too but I don't care
I won't be calling you July 3rd

I should have known
Now that I'm grown
I'm one year older and
I'm not much bolder

You could have warned me
This was the way it was going to be
I wanted a party but
There'll be one next year maybe
I'll be ready next time maybe
