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
