Jody Miller - There's a Party Goin' on Lyrics

Somewhere, a party's goin' on

Someone's there that should go home

But he's the life of the party

So his friends won't let him go, oh no

He's havin' a real good time

Tellin' jokes and drinkin' wine

And if someone's waitin' for him

You'd never know

But at home, she's lookin' out the window

Thinkin' about the good times

She remembers holdin' back the tears

And wishin' he was safe at home

Inside, her two lovin' arms sure do miss him

Two lips that long to kiss him

And once more whisper

"Baby, I love you"

Back at the party, he's all smiles

And his mind is a million miles

From the woman

That keeps on lovin' him more and more

One more dance, a little more wine

He's not too worried about the time

'Cause he knows

She'll be waitin' there at the door

But at home, she's lookin' out the window

Thinkin' about the good times

She remembers holdin' back the tears

And wishin' he was safe at home

Outside, she sees the car lights

She hears the door and knows he's alright

And though he's been a million places

She never looks for lipstick traces

And in her heart, she knows he's wrong

But she's so glad to have him home

And once more, she whispers as a tear falls down

She whispers once more, she whispers, "I love you"
