(Chorus)

I’m having a private party

Ain’t no body here but me, my angels, and my guitar singin’ baby look how far we’ve come here

I’m havin’ a private party

Learning how to love me

Celebrating the woman I’ve become, yeah

I tried to call my mother, but

She didn’t get where I was going

I called my boyfriend and he said

Call me back a little later baby

I hung up the phone, I felt so alone

Started to feel a little pity

That’s when I realized that I

Gotta find the joy inside of me

(Chorus)

I’m gonna take off all my clothes

Look at myself in the mirror

We’re gonna have a conversation

We’re gonna heal the disconnection

I don’t remember when it started

But this is where it’s gonna end

My body is beautiful and sacred

And I’m gonna celebrate it

(Chorus)

All my life (all my life)

I’ve been looking for (I’ve been looking for)

Somebody else (else)

To make me whole (ooo)

But I had to learn the hard way (ooo)

True love began with me (ooo)

This is not ego or vanity (ooo)

I’m just celebrating me

(Chorus)

Sometimes I’m alone but never lonely

That’s what I’ve come to realize

I’ve learned to love the quiet moments

The Sunday mornings of life

Where I can reach deep down inside

I can laugh until I cry

Or I can cry away the hurt

(Chorus)

Happy birthday to me

Happy birthday to me

Happy birthday

Happy birthday to me

Happy birthday to me

Happy birthday

(Chorus 2x)
