Party Boy

Alanis Morissette · Alanis [1991]

You're love ain't enough

Ow!



You're just a party, party, party boy, yeah

Oh, baby

You're just a party, party, party, boy!



From the moment I walked in your life

I knew right then, it was a serious thing for you

I got a kick out of your party friends

After a while I found a holiday overdue

Ohh, completely away from you

Oh, baby, your love ain't enough

Ow!



Party boy, you're just a party boy

Ain't no time for sleepin' 'cause you're misbehavin'

Party boy, you're just a party boy

Wake up soon and open your eyes

The time has come to see the light.



It took me long enough to realize

That all you give me is a really big broken heart

And I remember how we used to be

There was a time when we could never be torn apart

And now I wish that we could make a start

You know I gave you all my love

Ow!



Party boy, you're just a party boy

Ain't no time for sleepin' 'cause you're misbehavin'

Party boy, you're just a party boy

Wake up soon and open your eyes

The time has come to see the light.



This world of yours, turning upside down

Goin' up and down like a merry-go-round

A rumor goin' on right across the town

Why can't you see it?



I gave you love like you never knew

And you're givin' me nothing but an attitude

And now I'm gonna give a bit of solitude

I'll miss you, baby...



Misbehavin'.



Now I'll mis ya.



Ow!

You're just a party, party, party boy

Yeah

Oh, baby

You're just a party, party, party boy!

I've got to say to you, so you listen

Hey, boy, good bye!



Party boy, you're just a party boy

Ain't no time for sleepin' 'cause you're misbehavin'

Party boy, you're just a party boy

Wake up soon and open your eyes

The time has come to see the light.



You're just a party boy

Ain't no time for sleepin' 'cause you're misbehavin'

You're just a party boy

Wake up soon and open your eyes

The time has come to see the light.



You're just a party, party, party boy, yeah

Party boy, party boy

Party boy, party boy

Party boy, party boy

Party boy, party boy

Party boy, party boy.
