Party girl

They say you´re nothing but a party girl
Just like a million more all over the world
I know I shouldn´t be raising my hopes so high
But I have seen the hungry look in their eyes
They´d settle for anything in disguise of love
Seen the party girls look me over
Seen ´em leaving when the party´s over
They can´t touch me now
You say you don´t mind
We´re so hard to find
I could give you anything but time
Give it just one more try
Give it a chance
Starts like fascination
Ends up like a trance
Oh you´ll never be the guilty party girl
Maybe someday we can go hiding from this world
Maybe I´ll never get over the change in style
But I don´t want to lock you up and say you´re mine
Don´t want to lose you or say goodbye
I´m the guilty party and I want my slice
But I know you´ve got me and I´m in a grip-like vise.
They can´t touch me now
You say you don´t mind
We´re so hard to find
I could give you anything
I would give you anything
I can give you anything but time
Give you anything but time [x2]
