it's your party: you can cry if you want to

what if i told you i could make you   live

follow my instruction, swim in the direction

of my voice, hear my voice

but man you're wrong and   she's been waiting
G                G7         C        Cm        G
long and hard to kiss your head and hold your hands
     Em             D               G
and hold you while you fall asleep    and

what if i told you i could make you   live

of my voice, hear my voice
