Party People

(album: Games People Play - 1969)

Party people are such funny people
Happy people
Or so it seems
Ah-uh-uh, but party people (Party people)
Are really lonely people (Party people)
Phoney people who live only in dreams

'Cause when the music's gone
And the lights come on
And somebody says "It's time to go home"
Those party people (Party people)
Those party people (Party people)
Sometimes cry when the party's over

Party people seem like cheery people
Oh, but they're weary people
With no place left to run
Lord, have mercy on party people (Party people)
They're such proud people (Party people)
And they're loud people living only for fun

So they numb their minds
With their sparkling wine
And though they may deny that it's true
Those party people (Party people)
Those very same party people (Party people)
Sometimes cry when the party's over

So they numb their minds
With a bottle of wine
And though they may deny that it's true
Those party people (Party people)
Those party people (Party people)
Sometimes cry when the party's over

When the party's over
When it's over
When it's over
