Mary Chapin Carpenter - Party Doll lyrics

rate me

You used to be my party doll

But now you say the party's over

You used to love to honky tonk

But now the honky tonkin's over

Now my life is a bitter thing my sweet

Now life is a mystery to me

Love's pain I ain't buying

Love's strange but I'll keep trying

You used to be my party doll

But now you to live in clover

You used to be my number one

But now those salad days are over

Times change but the fascination stays

Love wins but the passion just fades

I'll drink to those dancin' days

I'll drink to your crazy ways

Through a whisky haze

Face the music, face the truth

Chases that fleet sweet bird of youth

Grow up sweetly, grow up strong

Hear the heartbeat in my song

Now my life is a bitter thing my sweet

Now life is a mystery to me

Love's pain I ain't buying

Love's strange but I'll keep trying

You used to be my party doll

But now you say the party's over

You used to love to honky tonk

But now the honky tonkin's over

You used to be my number one

But now you've vanished in the ozone
