"It's My Party" lyrics - QUINCY JONES

[Chorus:]
It's my party, I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry, too, if it happened to you

Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone
Judy left the same time
Why was he holdin' her hand?
He's supposed to be mine

[Chorus:]
Oh, it's my party, I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry, too, if it happened to you

Play all my records, keep dancin' all night
Leave me alone for awhile
'Til Johnny's dancin' with me
I got no reason to smile

[Chorus:]
Oh, it's my party, I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry, too, if it happened to you

[Interlude:]
Judy, you know you're my best friend
But all good friends must come to an end
And don't you know, sisters come before happy birthday blisters
I learned the hard way, again

Judy and Johnny just walked through the door
Like a queen with her king
Oh, what a birthday surprise
Judy's wearin' his ring

[Chorus:]
Oh, it's my party, I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry, too, if it happened to you
Oh, it's my party, I'll cry if I want to
Oh, I'll cry, ooh, I'll cry
You would cry, too, if it happened to you
