It’s My Party (But I Won’t Cry)

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
