[Intro]
You just turned sweet sixteen
And I can see you're blue
Cause your friends just told you
That your boyfriend was untrue
[Chorus]
What a birthday present
He has given you
Oh happy birthday baby
You've got sixteen shades of blue
(Sixteen shades of blue)
(Sixteen shades of blue)
[Verse 1]
(First shade) A broken teenage dream
(Second shade) A lonely birthday queen
(Third shade) He took you for a fool
(Fourth shade) How could he be so cruel
(Fifth shade) The gang all want to know
(Sixth shade) Where did your steady go?
(Seventh shade) I guess he's made it clear
(Eighth shade) That he just won't be here
[Chorus]
What a birthday present
He has given you
Oh happy birthday baby
You've got sixteen shades of blue
(Sixteen shades of blue)
(Sixteen shades of blue)
[Verse 2]
(Ninth shade) Now you're all alone
(Tenth shade) The gang has all gone home
(Eleventh shade) Just like the candle light
(Twelfth shade) Your love has died tonight
(Thirteenth) Now go ahead and cry
(Fourteenth) Over that cheatin' guy
(Fifteenth) And as your teardrops show
(Sixteenth) Everyone will know
[Chorus]
What a birthday present
He has given you
Oh happy birthday baby
You've got sixteen shades of blue
(Sixteen shades of blue)
(Sixteen shades of blue)
[Outro]
(Sixteen shades of blue)
(Sixteen shades of blue)
