Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Turn out the lights, the party's over

They say that all good things must end

Let's call it a night, the party's over

And tomorrow starts the same old thing again

[Verse 2]

What a crazy, crazy party

Never seen so many people laughin' and dancin'

Look at you, you're havin' fun

But look at me, I'm almost cryin'

But that don't keep her love from dyin'

Misery, 'cause for me the party's over

[Verse 3]

Turn out the lights, the party's over

They say that all good things must end

Let's call it a night, the party's over

And tomorrow starts the same old thing again

[Verse 4]

Once I had a love undyin'

I didn't keep it, wasn't tryin'

Life for me was just one party and then another

I had to have my party wife

Broke her heart so many times

And then one night, she said, "Sweetheart, the party's over"

[Verse 5]

Turn out the lights, the party's over

They say that all good things must end

Let's call it a night, the party's over

And tomorrow starts the same old thing again

And tomorrow starts the same old thing again
