party lights

Bruce Springsteen

I know the girls well they grow up fast where you come from
You left behind what was asked
and you were married baby oh so young
Now that little girl of yours looks
like she's growing up overnight
But do you miss the party lights
Do you miss the party lights
Do you miss the party lights
when you're lying in bed at night

He was gonna be your Romeo
you were gonna be his Juliet
These days you don't wait on Romeos
you just wait on that welfare check
While other girls your age are out
with lovers taking in the night
Do you miss the party lights
Do you miss the party lights
Do you miss the party lights
when you're lying in bed at night

Sometimes I see you on the street and you look so tired
I know that job you've got leaves you so uninspired
When I stop by to take you out to eat
I find you lying, all dressed up on the bed, baby, fast asleep

Go!

Then as I lean across the bed, darling
to switch out the light
I wonder if you miss the party lights
Do you miss the party lights
Do you miss the party lights
when you're lying in bed at night

Grab your coat and grab your hat, go in the bathroom
put that make up on
We're gonna take that little brat
we're gonna drop her off at your mom's
Yeah just give me a sign, I'm waiting on the line tonight
If you miss the party lights
If you miss the party lights
If you miss the party lights
when you're lying in bed at night
Do you miss the party lights
when you're lying in bed at night
Do you miss the party lights
Do you miss the party lights
Do you miss the party lights
Do you miss the party lights
Do you miss the party lights
Do you miss the party lights
Do you miss the party lights
Do you miss the party lights
