party of the first part

at last it's finally over today you get your way

it's in the hands of lawyers today they have their say

we can only talk through strangers a judge says what will be

and the final word is they're takin' you from me

when the party of the first part breaks the heart of the party of the second part

the party with the broken heart just falls apart

the party of the first takes love and all the party of the second just takes the fall

i don't like this kind of party at all

the kids go stay with grandma the house goes up for sale

while we organize our failures down to the last detail

and then we tell the story your side first then mine

now the party's over just sign the bottom line

when the party of the first part breaks the heart of the party of the second part

the party with the broken heart just falls apart

the party of the first takes love and all the party of the second just takes the fall

i don't like this kind of party at all

i don't like this kind of party at all
