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 tonking's over Now life's a bitter thing, my sweet Now life is a mystery to me
Love's pain I ain't buying Love's strange, I keep flying, flying, flying
CHORUS: 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
VERSE: Times change but the fascination stays Love wins but the passion just fades I'll drink to the dancing days I'll drink to your crazy ways Through the whiskey haze
CHORUS: Face the music, face the truth Chase that fleet sweet bird of youth Grow up sweetly, grow up strong Hear the heartbeat in my song
Love's pain, I ain't buying Love's strange, I keep trying, trying, trying
CHORUS: You used to be my party doll But now you say the party's over You used to love to honky tonk But now those dancing days are over You used to be my number one But now you vanished in the ozone
