Yeah…
See, everybody already told you happy birthday…
But I ain’t everybody.
I got something a little different planned for you tonight…
Come here.
[Verse 1]
Put that birthday dress on, baby, take your time,
Reservations made, but tonight is all mine.
Got your favorite bottle chilling down on ice,
Anything you want, girl, don’t ask me twice.
You’ve been working all year, tonight you let it go,
Hair done, nails done, looking like a centerfold.
Everybody in the room know who we came to see,
But when this party’s over, save the last dance for me.
[Pre-Chorus]
Blow your candles out,
Make a wish tonight.
Whatever you been wanting,
Baby, we can make it right.
[Chorus]
It’s your birthday after midnight,
We ain’t going home when they turn on the lights.
Keep your heels on, baby, we got all night,
Tonight we’re celebrating your life.
Birthday after midnight,
Another year looking better than the last time.
Put your hands up, let me see that smile—
Baby, tonight you’re the whole damn vibe.
[Verse 2]
Now the dinner’s done and the city’s still awake,
Top down cruising with a little birthday cake.
Your favorite song playing, you’re singing every word,
Looking over at me like we’re alone in this world.
Forget about tomorrow, tonight belongs to you,
No stress, no drama, nothing you gotta do.
And when the clock strikes twelve and the crowd disappears,
I’ma toast to your life and another good year.
[Bridge — Call & Response]
Lead: Whose night is it?

[Final Chorus]
It’s your birthday after midnight,
We ain’t going home when they turn on the lights.
One more toast, everything feels right,
We’re celebrating you tonight.
[Outro]
Happy birthday, baby…
Now everybody else had their turn celebrating you.
After midnight?
That’s when our party starts.
It’s your birthday after midnight,
We ain’t going home when they turn on the lights.
Keep your heels on, baby, we got all night,
Tonight we’re celebrating your life.
Birthday after midnight,
Another year looking better than the last time.
Put your hands up, let me see that smile—
Baby, tonight you’re the whole damn vibe
It’s your birthday after midnight,
We ain’t going home when they turn on the lights.
Keep your heels on, baby, we got all night,
Tonight we’re celebrating your life.
Birthday after midnight,
Another year looking better than the last time.
Put your hands up, let me see that smile—
Baby, tonight you’re the whole damn vibe
