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 is a bitter thing, my sweet Now life is a mystery to me Love's pain, I ain't buying Love's strange. I keep trying, trying, trying
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
Times change but 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
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
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
