I Already Know (What I'm Getting for My Birthday) Lyrics

I already know what I'm getting for my birthday
It's something I've been wantin' 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 and never 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'll be happy on my birthday by getting where your face won't spoil the 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

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
