You used to be my party doll,
But now you say the party's over,
You used to love honky tonk,
but now the honky tonking's over.
Now life, is a bitter thing my sweet,
Now life, is a mystery to me,
Love's pain, I ain't buyin'
Love's strange, but I'll keep tryin'.
You used to be my party doll.
But now you want to live in clover,
you used to be my number one,
But now those salad days are over,
Time's change, but the fascination stays,
Love wilts, but the passion just fades,
I drink to those dancin' days,
I'll drink to your crazy ways through a whisky haze,
Face the music, face the truth,
chase that fleet sweet bird of youth,
grow up sweetly, grow up strong,
hear the heart beat in my song.
Now life, is a bitter thing my sweet,
Now life, is a mystery to me,
Love's pain, I ain't buyin'
Love's strange, but I'll keep tryin'.
You used to be my party doll,
But now you say the party's over,
you used to love honky tonk,
but now the honky tonking's over.
you used to be my number one,
But now you've vanished into your zone.
