Lyrics to Party Doll
Lyrics to the song Party Doll as recorded by Bryan Ferry.
(Ferry)
When the world outside of you
Seems to weigh too much for you
Then draw within yourself
For there is no one else
It's a sin
What I'm sayin'
But it's truth
Black and blue has turned to grey
Real life pictures gone astray
But don't give in
Imagination rules again
It's a sin
What I'm sayin'
But it's the truth
Party doll
Oh how you turn me on
Now the day's for sleepin'
For I'll be leapin' all night long
Party doll
Without you I can't go on
Now the way I'm figurin'
You'll be Leda
And I'll be Swann
It's a sin
What I'm sayin'
But it's truth
It's a sin
What I'm sayin'
But it's truth
And if our secret love
Is haunting you
No one can hold me
Like you used to do
Party doll, what's your game?
Do you move, or entertain
What people say
When it don't mean a thing?
It's a sin
Heads they lose
Tails you win
Party doll, I must confess
This wishin' well of loneliness
Has dragged you down
I'll wind you up, let's twist again
It's a sin skin to skin Amen
Party Doll
