Lyrics

Where had I been? She asked why I was late.
That’s what she said, didn’t hesitate.
I was getting irritated. I was feeling irate.
I was late ’cause I’d been getting her birthday cake

I shopped
I was shopping
I had shopped
I’d been shopping
for a birthday cake

I looked
I was looking
I had looked
I’d been looking
for a birthday cake

I bought
I was buying
I had bought
I’d been buying
a birthday cake

Where had I been? She asked why I was late.
That’s what she said, didn’t hesitate.
I was getting irritated. I was feeling irate.
I was late ’cause I’d been getting her birthday cake.
I was late ’cause I’d been getting her birthday cake.
