Party Girl Lyrics - Party Girl: Radio Broadcast 1982 - Linda Ronstadt

They say I'm nothing but a party girl 

Just like a million more all over the world 

I know I shouldn't be raising my hopes so high 

But I have seen the hungry look in their eyes 

They'd settle for anything in disguise of love 

Seen the party girls look you over 

Seen them leaving when the party's over 

They can't touch me now 

You say you don't mind 

We're so hard to find 

I could give you anything but time 

Give it just one more try 

Give it a chance 

Starts like fascination 

Ends up like a trance

You'll never be the guilty party will you 

Maybe someday we can go hiding from this world 

Maybe I'll never get over this change in style 

But I don't want to lock you up and say you're mine 

Don't want to lose you or say good-bye 

I'm the guilty party and I want my slice 

But I know you've got me in a grip-like vise 

They can't touch me now 

You say you don't mind 

We're so hard to find 

I could give you anything 

I would give you anything 

I can give you anything but time 

Time 

Time 

Time
