Linda Ronstadt - Party Girl lyrics

rate me

They say I'm nothing but a party girl

Just like a million more all over the world

I know I shouldn't be raising my hopes so high

But I have seen the hungry look in their eyes

They'd settle for anything in disguise of love

Seen the party girls look you over

Seen them leaving when the party's over

They can't touch me now

You say you don't mind

We're so hard to find

I could give you anything but time

Give it just one more try

Give it a chance

Starts like fascination

Ends up like a trance

You'll never be the guilty party will you

Maybe someday we can go hiding from this world

Maybe I'll never get over this change in style

But I don't want to lock you up and say you're mine

Don't want to lose you or say good-bye

I'm the guilty party and I want my slice

But I know you've got me in a grip-like vise

They can't touch me now

You say you don't mind

We're so hard to find

I could give you anything

I would give you anything

I can give you anything but time

Time

Time

Time
