I Already Know (What I'm Getting For My Birthday)

(album: I Wouldn't Want You Any Other Way - 1972)

I already know what I'm getting for my birthday
It's something I've been wanting all year
I'm gonna get myself a very special present
I'm gonna get myself a million miles from here

There never was much happiness between us
More tears and angry words and never smiles
But now there'll be a lot of things between us
And every one of them would be a mile

I already know what I'm getting for my birthday
It's something I've been wanting all year
I'm gonna get myself a very special present
I'm gonna get myself a million miles from here

At last I'll be happy on my birthday
By getting where your face won't spoil the view
If absence ever makes my heart grow fonder
It would grow fonder of my freedom not of you

I already know what I'm getting for my birthday
It's something I've been wanting all year
I'm gonna get myself a very special present
I'm gonna get myself a million miles from here
I'm gonna get myself a million miles from here
