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

R: Now life´s a bitter thing, my sweet

Now life is a mystery to me

Love´s pain I ain´t buying

Love´s strange, I keep flying, flying, flying

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

R: Time change but the fascination stays

Love wins but the passoin 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
