It's Not My Party

we drove away inside our three wheelers
across the pavement that we called our turf
blown by the wind across the cold, hard earth
like dirty leaves in a parking...

mmm
mmm

we are grown up
and that is good we're told
but when the grownups just become plain old
left on the vine 'til the frostbite's cold
like broken flowers buried in the snow

mmm
mmm

and if you wanna throw a party
i can cry tonight
you would cry too if it happened to you right
i keep falling in and out of love with you
i never loved anyone the way i do
you-hoo-hoo

smiling politely almost all the time
window reflections in the checkout line
born under punches and a real bad sign
like two for one for just a dollar nine nine

mmm
mmm

and if you wanna throw a party
i can cry tonight
you would cry too if it happened to you right
i keep falling in and out of love with you
i never loved anyone the way i do
you-hoo-hoo

we're tense and nervous running at the mouth
afraid of just what everyone is all about
we keep on keeping on to hide our doubts
and hold a candle when the lights go out

mmm
mmm

and if you wanna throw a party
i can cry tonight
you would cry too if it happened to you right
i keep falling in and out of love with you
i never loved anyone the way i do
you-hoo-hoo
you-hoo-hoo
you-hoo-hoo
you-hoo-hoo
