[Verse 1]
You should've been there
Should've burst through the door
With that "Baby, I'm right here" smile
And it would've felt like
A million little shining stars had all aligned
And I would've been so happy

[Verse 2]
Christmas lights glisten
I've got my eye on the door
Just waiting for you to walk in
But the time is ticking
People ask me how I've been
And I comb back through my memory
How you said you'd be here
You said you'd be here

[Chorus]
And it was like slow motion
Standing there in my party dress
In red lipstick
With no one to impress
And they're all laughing
As I'm looking around the room
And there's one thing missing
And that was the moment I knew
[Verse 3]
And the hours pass by
Now I just wanna be alone
But your friends always seem to know
When there's something wrong
So they follow me down the hall
And there in the bathroom
I try not to fall apart
And the sinking feeling starts
As I say hopelessly
"He said he'd be here"

[Chorus]
And it was like slow motion
Standing there in my party dress
In red lipstick
With no one to impress
And they're all laughing
And asking me about you
There's one thing missing
And that was the moment I knew

[Outro]
Ooh-oh-oh, oh, moment I knew
Ooh-oh-oh, oh
Oh, it's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
And I would've been so happy
I'll cry if I want to, ooh
