Hey, leave a message Hey - call me back when you get this Or when you've got a minute We really need to talk Wait - you know what Maybe just forget it 'Cause by the time you get this Your number might be blocked "Stay" and "bla bla bla" You just want what you can't have No way I'll call the cops If you don't stop, I'll call your dad And I hate to do this to you on your birthday Happy birthday by the way "It's not you, it's me" and all that other bullshit You know that's bullshit Don'tcha', babe? I'm not your party favor Look - now I know, we could've done it better But we can't change the weather When the weather's come and gone Books don't make sense if you read 'em backwards You'll single out the wrong words Like you mishear all my songs You hear "stay" and "bla bla bla" You just want what you can't have No way I'll call the cops If you don't stop, I'll call your dad And I hate to do this to you on your birthday Happy birthday by the way "It's not you, it's me" and all that other bullshit You know that's bullshit Don'tcha', babe? I'm not your party favor
