Party Of The First Part

(album: Sometimes When We Touch - 1985)

At last it's finally over today you get your way
It's in the hands of lawyers today they have their say
We can only talk through strangers a judge says what will be
And the final word is they're taking you from me

When the party of the first part breaks the heart of the party of the second part
The party with the broken heart just falls apart
The party of the first takes love and all the party of the second just takes the fall
I don't like this kind of party at all

The kids go stay with Grandma the house goes up for sale
While we organize our failures down to the last detail
And then we tell the story your side first then mine
Now the party's over just sign the bottom line

When the party of the first part breaks the heart of the party of the second part
The party with the broken heart just falls apart
The party of the first takes love and all the party of the second just takes the fall
I don't like this kind of party at all
I don't like this kind of party at all
