Iand've heard all the stories, the failure and glories
i havenand't had either
boast and toast iand'm the best and iand'm a mess
i know iand'm not neither
thought i was down as far as any man could go,
thought my highs were giant size
i know now thatand's not so
i know you heard, know you heard, know you heard,
donand't believe a word, not a word, one word
itand's been overblown, the truth should be known
and'til now i couldnand't see
put my cards on the table while iand'm still able,
i guess i really donand't know how to party
itand's blown out of whack,
the truth is whatand's lacking, and'til now i couldnand't see
the long and the short iand'd like to report,
i guess i really donand't know how to party
really donand't by any shape or form
whether straight up in the sunshine
or passed out in the storm
donand't know how but now i know i donand't
will it help me out? no, it probably wonand't
ten nine ainand't no hero number one at bad behavior
five, four, three, two, what? not zero
donand't go counting on a savior
i was playing it safe when iand'd fall on my face
entertainment was what i was after,
harmless fun, no damage done
i was out and about for the laughter
thought i was some-thing
really something no one was gonna touch
ace in the place, kingpin of sin i didnand't know too much
donand't believe everything youand've heard,
donand't believe a solitary word
itand's been overblown, the truth should be known,
and'til now i couldnand't see
put my cards on the table while iand'm still able
i guess i really donand't know how to party
really donand't by any shape and form
whether straight up in the sunshine
or passed out in a storm,
donand't know how but now i know i donand't
will it help me out, no it probably wonand't
i donand't have a notion and i donand't have a clue,
an iota or an inkling where to start or what to do
the foggiest, the faintest, the slightest i ainand't got
will it help me out?
nah, probably not
