[Verse 1]

I made you laugh, I gave you tears

I made you smile over the years

And I think I'd let it all be

Mmm, today I turn 43

[Verse 2]

I brang you joy, I made you mad

Through the good times and the bad

Oh, I wouldn't change it even for free

Mmm, today I turn 43

[Verse 3]

I done it all, I've been around

Been to London and Chinatown

I'd look back but I can't see

Mmm, today I turn 43

[Chorus]

And in 2 years time I'll be 45

Halfway to my grave but I'm still alive

I checked off all the things I've done

Pretty good for a son of a gun

[Verse 4]

I broke some bones

Got stabbed in the back

I had some hits and taken some flack

I can be as sweet as a bumblebee

Mmm, today I turn 43

[Verse 5]

If I have to live to 105

I hope you're with me till the day I die

But for now I live comfortably

Mmm, today I turn 43

[Outro]

Happy birthday to me
