PARTY LIGHTS
I know the girls they grow up fast where
you come from
You left behind what was asked
You left behind what was asked
And you were married baby oh so young
Now that little girl of yours looks like
Now that little girl of yours looks like
She's growing up overnight
But do you miss the party lights
Do you miss the party lights
Do you miss the party lights
When you're lying in bed at night
He was gonna be your Romeo
But do you miss the party lights
Do you miss the party lights
Do you miss the party lights
When you're lying in bed at night
He was gonna be your Romeo
You were gonna be his Juliet
These days you don't wait on Romeos
These days you don't wait on Romeos
You just wait on that welfare check
While other girls your age are out
While other girls your age are out
With lovers taking in the night
Do you miss the party lights
Do you miss the party lights
Do you miss the party lights
When you're lying in bed at night
Sometimes I see you on the street and you look so tired
I know that job you've got leaves you so uninspired
When I stop by to take you out to eat
I find you lying, all dressed up on the bed
Do you miss the party lights
Do you miss the party lights
Do you miss the party lights
When you're lying in bed at night
Sometimes I see you on the street and you look so tired
I know that job you've got leaves you so uninspired
When I stop by to take you out to eat
I find you lying, all dressed up on the bed
Baby, fast asleep
Then as I lean across the bed, darling
Then as I lean across the bed, darling
To switch out the light
I wonder if you miss the party lights
Do you miss the party lights
Do you miss the party lights
When you're lying in bed at night
Grab your coat, grab your hat, go in the bathroom
I wonder if you miss the party lights
Do you miss the party lights
Do you miss the party lights
When you're lying in bed at night
Grab your coat, grab your hat, go in the bathroom
Put that make up on
We're gonna take that little brat
We're gonna take that little brat
We're gonna drop her off at your mom's
Yeah just give me a sign
Yeah just give me a sign
I'm waiting on the line tonight
If you miss the party lights
If you miss the party lights
If you miss the party lights
When you're lying in bed at night
Do you miss the party lights
When you're lying in bed at night
Do you miss the party lights
Do you miss the party lights
If you miss the party lights
If you miss the party lights
If you miss the party lights
When you're lying in bed at night
Do you miss the party lights
When you're lying in bed at night
Do you miss the party lights
Do you miss the party lights
LUCES DE FIESTA
Las chicas pronto se hacen mayores de
donde vienes
Olvidaste lo que pedían
Y te casaste, querida, tan joven
Ahora esa hijita tuya parece
Que va creciendo por la noche
Pero, ¿añoras las luces de fiesta?
¿Añoras las luces de fiesta?
¿Añoras las luces de fiesta?
Al acostarte en la cama por la noche
Él iba a ser tu Romeo
Y tú, su Julieta
Ahora ya no esperas a Romeos
Sino a tu cheque del subsidio
Mientras otras chicas de tu edad salen
Con sus amantes por la noche
¿Añoras las luces de fiesta?
¿Añoras las luces de fiesta?
¿Añoras las luces de fiesta?
Al acostarte en la cama por la noche
A veces te observo por la calle y
pareces tan cansada
Sé que ese trabajo que tienes te deja
sin fuerzas
Cuando me paro para llevarte a cenar
Te encuentro vestida sobre la cama
Cariño, durmiendo
Y mientras me inclino sobre tu cama
Para apagar las luces
Me pregunto si añoras las luces de
fiesta
¿Añoras las luces de fiesta?
¿Añoras las luces de fiesta?
Al acostarte en la cama por la noche
Coge el abrigo, el sombrero, entra en
el baño
Y ponte el maquillaje
Nos llevaremos a esa mocosa
Y la dejaremos en casa de tu madre
Sí, dame sólo una señal
Esta noche estoy esperando
Si añoras las luces de fiesta
Si añoras las luces de fiesta
Si añoras las luces de fiesta
Al acostarte en la cama por la noche
¿Añoras las luces de fiesta?
Al acostarte en la cama por la noche
¿Añoras las luces de fiesta?
¿Añoras las luces de fiesta?
