I already know what I'm getting for my birthday it's something I 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 than ever 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...

At last I'm getting happy for my birthday by getting where your face won't be in 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...
I'm gonna get myself a million miles from here
