Ain't No Party Lyrics

Yes I knew you were married when I met you
Told myself "That's the way it's got to be!"
But for all these years, the best of my life,
My life has become a catastrophe
Sitting here waiting on a man who ain't comin'
Ain't no party, no, no, no
I'm sittin' there wishin' I had some ambition
To get me through; there wasn't always you

Don't I give you good lovin', sweet daddy
Anytime she let you slip away?
You're gonna tell her now that you love me
And you're gonna tell her today

Sitting here waiting on a man who ain't comin'
Ain't no party, no, no, no
I'm sittin' there wishin' I had some ambition
To get me through, but it wasn't always you
Where's my party?
Where is my party?
Where's the champagne?
Where's the flowers?
I'm all dressed up in my party dress
And I've been sittin' here for hours
This ain't no party
No, no, no, no, it ain't no party, baby
Now, it's been seven years, and it don't take a smarty
To realize that even though my man throws confetti in my face
It still don't make it no party

This ain't no party
It ain't no party, baby

My mama wants to know when you gonna marry me

If you want me in your life you better make me your wife

My daddy's comin' to town I can't be messin' around
