Party's Over

Party’s Over (C. Cook)

Bad cookin’ goin’ on in the kitchen
Somebody wakin’ up on the floor
Another pretty girl with her heart broke
On the other side of the back screen door
A thief is pickin’ pockets in the back yard
What kinda pills might he be on
He’s lookin’ for a ride to the liquor store
Some stranger’s answerin’ my telephone

Well now I’m here to say that today is the day
I could use a little time all alone

And now the party’s over turn on the lights
The party’s over give me back my life
The party’s over I can’t take it no more
Everybody make their way to the door
The party’s over

They're all makin’ funny noises in the bathroom
I wonder what keeps takin’ them so long
Somebody dancin’ naked in my livin’ room
Sometimes I wish they would all go home
I’m the one who invited em’ all here
I guess that’s what I wanted at the time
But now the whole neighborhood is dancin’ in the front yard
Raisin’ hell and more than just drinkin’ wine

Well now I’m here to say that today is the day
I could use a little time all alone

And now the party’s over turn on the lights
The party’s over give me back my life
The party’s over I can’t take it no more
Everybody make their way to the door
The party’s over

I’ve had all the fun that one man can stand
I don’t think I’ll ever drink again
I think about leavin’ town on a fast train baby
Maybe move in with my next of kin
How many times I’ve got to tell myself
That ain’t no way to live or die
This ain’t no way to live or die

Well now I’m here to say that today is the day
I could use a little time all alone

And now the party’s over turn on the lights
The party’s over give me back my life
The party’s over I can’t take it no more
Everybody make their way to the door
Because I’m tired of wakin’ up on the floor
The party’s over
