Thirty nine candles burn out on a cake

Each representing a million mistakes

The last one still burns, there is a wish I can make

This time I am getting it right

So I close my eyes and I take a deep breath

And I promise myself in the time I have left

I am going to work like I do not need the money

I am going to laugh like I am not afraid to cry

I am going to dance like nobody is watching

I am going to love while I still got the time

Loving me has not been easy on you

I do not know why but I know you still do

It maybe my day but here is a present for you

You are looking at your new man

He is sincere and sober and faithful and kind

And he is home when you need girl and starting tonight

No more excuses and no more me doing things wrong

Life is too short baby; I have wasted ours for too long

And baby from now on
