I can’t stop loving you…

I’ve made up my mind

To live in memories of the lonesome time…

And we can’t stop  
And we won’t stop  
We run things, things don’t run we  
Don’t take nothing from nobody

It’s our party we can do what we want  
It’s our party we can say what we want  
It’s our party we can love who we want  
We can kiss who we want  
We can screw who we want

Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone  
But Judy left the same time  
Why was he holding her hand  
When he’s supposed to be mine?

It’s my party, and I’ll cry if I want to  
Cry if I want to  
Cry if I want to  
You would cry too, if it happened to you

One day you’re up, then you turn around  
You find your world is tumbling down  
It happened to me, and it can happen to you

Honey, got no money  
I’m all sixes and sevens and nines  
Say now baby, I’m the rank outsider  
You can be my partner in crime

Baby, I can’t stay  
You got to roll me and call me the tumblin’  
Roll me and call me the tumblin’ dice  
Now baby

Snake eyes  
Seven eleven  
Don’t let me down tonight  
No don’t let me down tonight

Just one minute more  
Then I’ll walk right through that door  
It’s gonna be alright, It’s gonna be alright

All that I am asking for is ten gold dollars  
And I could pay you back with one good hand  
You can look around about the wide world over  
And you’ll never find another honest man.

Honesty is such a lonely word  
Everyone is so untrue  
Honesty is hardly ever heard  
And mostly what I need from you

Baby, sing with me somehow…

I’ll go it alone, that’s how it must be

Daring to try, to do it or die  
I’ve gotta be me

Monday you can hold your head  
Tuesday, Wednesday, stay in bed  
Or Thursday watch the walls instead  
It’s Friday, I’m in love

Saturday wait  
And Sunday always comes too late  
But Friday never hesitate
