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 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 flying, flying, flying
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
Love’s pain I ain’t buying Love’s strange but I’ll 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’ve vanished in the ozone
