Would If I Could

Honesty was never your strong suit
Neither was your taste in men
Nothing I did could stop you from coming over and over again

Never mind all the hiss and fuss
Never mind all the shitty things I said
Pointed fingers and gritted teeth
Daddy issues, and I don't mean me

Wonder way, wonder why
Would hang out, not tonight
You're on your way, don't know why
Would hang out, but not tonight, 'cuz

I got this party going on
This party going on
This party going on
Everybody's watching me, just waiting for something to go wrong
This party going on

A couple sheets of paper
Lazily stapled together
Mean a lot more than they should
When you're only 23

A clammy handshake and a wink
Do a lot more here than you would think
Feel the fingers as they cross
The lips will start to say

Hey
You gotta give it up now
No way
This is a mistake
This is not so fun to talk about
I'd love to hang but not tonight, 'cuz

I got this party going on
This party going on
This party going on
Everybody's watching me, just waiting for something to go wrong
This party going on

I don't need public approval
Rate me on a 1-10
You've got one out of two, yeah
Feed my ego, starve me dead, but

I got this party going on
This party going on
This party going on

If you had somewhere else to be
I'd let you leave
But you don't at all
A cancellation of my plans
Sure, there's a chance
But they won't

Well, if you break down
The patterns to a T
By and large the strangest thing
I'd be alright
I'd get by
Just staying inside the rest of my life

I got this party going on
This party going on
This party going on
Everybody's watching me, just waiting for something to go wrong
This party going on

I don't need public approval
Rate me on a 1-10
You've got out of two, yeah
Feed my ego, starve me dead, but

I got this party going on
This party going on
This party going on

Everybody's watching me
Everybody's watching me
Everybody's watching me
Everybody's watching me
