[Intro]
[Verse 1]
It s my party but I won t cry
It s my funeral but I won t die
It s my fiction but I won t lie
It s my party but I won t cry
[Pre-chorus 1]
I don t have the power to be superman
And I don t have the smarts to understand
Why you walked out and left me for another man
With the cake in the oven
And the meat in the pan
[Verse 2]
It s my party but I won t dance
My feet get tangled I can t take the chance
It s my party but no one s here
They left me chocolate and warm beer
[Pre-chorus 2]
I don t have the strength left to pull a train
I don t have the fortitude to start again
Well you might have left me in a world of pain
But I won t fall apart or go insane
[Chorus]
Itâs my party now
Itâs my party yeah
[Organ/Guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
It is my party but I won t leave
The wound is fatal but I won t grieve
I m not in traction I m not bereaved
It s my party and I won t leave
[Pre-chorus 3]
I don t have the heart to beat myself up
It s a farfetched tale you can t make this stuff up
Well you might have left me in a world of pain
But I won t fall apart or go insane
[Chorus]
Itâs my party yeah
Itâs my party now
Itâs my party yeah
Itâs my party now
