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
