It's My Party lyrics by Lesley Gore

It's My Party - Lesley Gore

Intro
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.

1. Strophe
Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone, Judy left the same time.
Why was he holding her hand when he's supposed to be mine?

1. Refrain
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.

2. Strophe
Play my records, keep dancin' all night,
but leave me alone for a while.
'Till Johnny's dancing with me I've got no reason to smile.

2. Refrain
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.

Instrumental

3. Strophe
Oh, Judy and Johnny just walked through the door,
Like a queen with her king.
Oh what a birthday surprise, Judy's wearing his ring.

3. Refrain
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.

Coda
Oh oh, 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.
