Lyrics
Intro:
I looked for a card for your birthday
to say how I feel some special way
but Hallmark just can't do you justice
If I made your card this is what it would say
Verse 1:
You make me weak in the knees
with your kiss like a runaway train
your body's so beautiful baby
just like your incredible brain
every note moves me when you play guitar
your music just takes me away
and try as I might I just can't help but tremble
whenever you touch me that way
Chorus:
Happy birthday baby
time to have some fun
a private little party
where we're the only ones
as candles burn tonight
your wishes will come true
happy birthday baby
happy birthday to you
Verse 2:
You speak of such mystical things
like a shaman so solemn and wise
you smile with your dimples so deep
and that mischevious look in your eyes
you pick me up carry me off
and lay me down in our bed
you hold me so sweetly all through the night
and you dance through the dreams in my head
Chorus
Bridge:
I don't have packages for you to open
unwrap me and I'll unwrap you
when you eat your cake
use me for your plate
then I'll give you a spanking or two
Chorus
End
