Graham Parker - It's My Party (But I Won't Cry) lyrics

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 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 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 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 It is my party now It is my party now It is my party now 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 I don't have the heart to beat myself up It's a farfetched tale but 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 It is my party yeah It is my party now It is my party yeah It is my party now
