Ain't No Party - Loretta Devine

Yes, I knew you were married when I met you;

Told myself, «That's the way it’s got to be!»

But for all these years, the best of my life,

My life has become a catastrophe…

Sitting here, waiting on a man who ain’t comin'

Ain’t no party, no, no, no…

I’m sittin' there wishin' I had some ambition

To get me through, that it wasn’t always you!

Don’t I give you good lovin', sweet daddy,

Every time she let you slip away?

You’re gonna tell her now that you love me,

And you’re gonna tell her today!

Cause sitting here waiting on a man who ain’t comin'

Ain’t no party, no, no, no!

I’m sittin' there wishin' I had some ambition

To get me through… that it wasn’t always you!

Where’s my party? Where is my party?

Where’s the champagne? Where’s the flowers?

I’m all dressed up in my party dress, and I’ve been sittin' here for hours

This ain’t no party… No, no, no, no, it ain’t no party, baby!

Now, it’s been seven years, and it don’t take a smarty to realize

That even though my man throws confetti in my face, it still don’t make it no

party!

This ain’t no party! It ain’t no party, baby!

My mama wants to know when you gonna marry me;

If you want me in your life, you better make me your wife!

My daddy’s comin' to town, I can’t be messin' around!

Oh, you better tell me when you’re gonna marry me!

I want a wedding, honey!

Oh, no, baby, you got to marry me…
