Why oh why am I standing alone
looking for my destination
Why oh why am I a little lost
tryin' to find my motivation
If I shine a little light on this situation
spin I'll find the right direction
Sooner or later we all find out that
the club shuts down and the lights go out

Everybody wants to throw a party for ya
then everybody's gotta go home
Everybody knows you by the name they call ya
but who are you when you're on your own
you can dance all night play that game
shake it with the crowd do it for the fame
Everybody wants to throw a party for ya
then everybody's gotta go home

Why oh why am I believing in
something that is always changing
Why oh why am I here in a crowd
can't we turn in to a different station
I've been blinded by the lights the adderation
smiles've become my occupation
Sooner or later there comes a time
when the press packs up and I'm left behind

Everybody wants to throw a party for ya
then everybody's gotta go home
Everybody knows you by the name they call ya
but who are you when you're on your own
you can dance all night play that game
shake it with the crowd do it for the fame
Everybody wants to throw a party for ya
then everyone's gotta go home

And now that all the makeup is gone
What is my purpose when the curtain finally comes down
I'm gonna shine a little light on this situation
spin I'll find the right direction
Sooner or later I'm left with me
when I can deal with then I'm finally free

Everybody wants to throw a party for ya
then everybody's gotta go home
Everybody knows you by the name they call ya
but who are you when you're on your own
you can dance all night play that game
shake it with the crowd do it for the fame
Everybody wants to throw a party for ya
then everybody's gotta go home
