Witness

I'm standing outside your window baby
And there you are
Another year, another candle's burning
For the party girl
No one even knows you're there
Happy Birthday
No one cares
You come around here
You'd better bring a witness
Everyone in here's on the guest list
And when you're gone you won't be missed
Keep one eye open
When you kiss
Your wishes won't be coming true this year
Darlin' don't you cry
We're gonna teach you everything
You'll learn to get by
Now lesson number one in homicide
Is emotial murder's no crime
You come around here
You'd better bring a witness
Everyone in here's on the guest list
When you're gone you won't be missed
Keep one eye open
When you kiss
Sticks and stones baby break your bones
But the names in here can kill
We'd let you leave
But no one else wants you
Your ransom was not made
Now you don't have to stand up tall
But now baby you must stand up
You come around here
You'd better bring a witness
Everyone in here's on the guest list
Now we've never been so impressed
Keep one eye open
When whenever you kiss
