elvis costello - party girl [live, hollywood high school 1978] lyrics

[stage banter]

elvis: this is a new song! it’s called “party girl.”

[song begins]

they say you’re 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 me over
seen ’em leaving when the party’s over

they can’t touch me now
but 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, girl
maybe someday, we can go hiding from this world
maybe i’ll never get over the change in style
but i don’t wanna lock you up and say you’re mine
don’t wanna lose you or say goodbye
i’m the guilty party, and i want my slice
but i know you’ve got me, and i’m in a grip like vice
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’t give you anything but time
time
time
time
