Songtexte: India Arie. Private Party.

[Chorus:]
I?m having a private party
Ain?t no body here but me, my angels, and my guitar, singin? baby look how far we?ve come here
I?m havin? a private party
Learning how to love me
Celebrating the woman I?ve become, yeah

I tried to call my mother, but
She didn?t get where I was going
I called my boyfriend and he said
Call me back a little later baby
I hung up the phone, I felt so alone
Started to feel a little pity
That?s when I realized that I
Gotta find the joy inside of me

[Chorus]

I?m gonna take off all my clothes
Look at myself in the mirror
We?re gonna have a conversation
We?re gonna heal the disconnection
I don?t remember when it started
But this is where it?s gonna end
My body is beautiful and sacred
And I?m gonna celebrate it

[Chorus]

All my life (all my life)
I?ve been looking for (I?ve been looking for)
Somebody else (else)
To make me whole (ooo)
But I had to learn the hard way (ooo)
True love began with me (ooo)
This is not ego or vanity (ooo)
I?m just celebrating me

[Chorus]

Sometimes I?m alone but never lonely
That?s what I?ve come to realize
I?ve learned to love the quiet moments
The Sunday mornings of life
Where I can reach deep down inside
Or out into the universe
I can laugh until I cry
Or I can cry away the hurt

[Chorus]

Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday

[Chorus] x 2
