We both know a certain party

I won't mention any names

But you think you love this party

Who's brought me so much pain.



I don't know what he's told you

But I'll bet you think he's free

Wellm I'm the wife of this party

And he still belongs to me.



I'm the wife of the party

You go out with every night

I'm the wife of the party

Who holds you so tight.



In the arms of this party

You don't have the right to be

For the wife of the party is me.

When you look this certain party

He's a laughing boy I know

He's the life of every party

You should see him when he's home.



Always tired, always sleeping

Resting up to be with you

I should just let you keep him

But you see I love him too.



I'm the wife of the party

I'm the wife of the party

You go out with every night

I'm the wife of the party

Who holds you so tight.



In the arms of this party

You don't have the right to be

For the wife of the party is me.



Yes, the wife of the party is me...
