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 is a bitter thing, my sweet

Now life is a mystery to me

Love's pain, I ain't buying

Love's strange. I keep trying, trying, trying



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



Times change but 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



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



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
