Happy Anniversary,
Boy, can you believe that it's been
One whole month since I first met you?
God, it's been so lovely,
I have never believed in love 'til
You came by and changed my point of view.
Every day I fell deeper in love with you,
From every thing that you'd do.
Everybody said, what?
Everybody said, why?
Everybody said, he ain't no good for you.
Everybody said don't--or promise me that you won't.
Or better wake up,
Get out and find someone new.
But you were dressin' me up and givin' me diamond earrings everyday.
So, how was I to know that you stole every pair of them,
And you'd get yourself locked away?
Happy Anniversary,
Boy, can you believe that it's been
Twelve whole months since I first met you?
We've been movin' slowly,
I've appreciated all your patience while I save my virtue.
You've been gentle and kind, so good and true,
That I started plannin' I do's.
Everybody said, what?
Everybody said, why?
Everybody said, he ain't no good for you.
Everybody said don't--or promise me that you won't.
Or better wake up,
Get out and find someone new.
But I've been blind by how good you've been to me,
Thinkin' that you might be the one,
So imagine my surprise to walk in and find
You lyin' there with a priest and a slutty nun.
Oh you could throw me in a room with a
Thousand men who would treat me like a queen,
And you could bet I would choose the
One who'd end up playin' a false routine.
I was always the girl who'd never see the bad 'til I'd been had.
Well one of these days,
Imma find me a man who won't have to
Lie still and cheat as part of his plan.
Ohhh Happy Anniversary,
Man, can you believe that I've gone
Five whole years without a boyfriend?
God, it makes me tingle,
Who'd have ever thought I'd ever be content to be alive and single?
Every man that I've met is overblown,
So I'd rather go it alone!
Everybody said, what?
Everybody said, why?
Everybody said, this ain't no good for you.
Everybody said don't--but promise me that you won't.
Or better wake up,
Get out and find someone new.
But what's the point in forcing relationships
Solely so you won't be alone?
No one else can know what is best for you, baby,
Though everyone will say that they do,
Love yourself before you let anybody in,
So when you do, one plus one will equal two.
Ohhhh, Yeah!
