[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
