[Intro]
Doot doot, doot doot, doot doot, doot dooo umm
Doot doot, doot doot, doot doot, doot dooo umm
I'm the life of the party, I'm the life of the party

[Verse]
Tonight is the night when I'll see her again
She'll be with another man
Will I be strong?
Will I hold on?
When I see them holding hands
It's just the party I keep tellin' myself
And so if she's with someone else
I'll put on my best smile
And clown for a while
And no one would know this the sadness in my heart

[Chorus]
I was the life of the party (Tryna have some fun)
I laughed loud and hardy (I was the only one)
I told all my best jokes
Everybody was amazed
I was laughin' instead of crying
But inside I was dying
And there's no denying

[Post-Chorus]
Hey, the life of the party
I laughed 'til I almost cried
Laughed so hard I almost cried, baby
I hope nobody can see
The joke was really on me
Just played it gradually with pride
Tryin' hard not to let it get me down

[Chorus]
I was the life of the party (Tryna have some fun)
I laughed loud and hardy (I was the only one)
I told all my best jokes
Everybody was amazed
I was laughin' instead of crying
But inside I was dying
[Post-Chorus]
Oh the life of the party
I laughed 'til I almost cried, ooh baby
Ooh the life of the party
I laughed 'til I almost cried
Oh (The life of the party) baby yeI laughed ('Til I almost cried)

[Chorus]
I was the life of the party (Tryna have some fun)
I laughed loud and hardy (I was the only one)
I told all my best jokes
Everybody was amazed
I was laughin' instead of crying
But inside I was dying
And there's no denying

[Outro]
Said the life of the party I laughed till I almost cried
I was watchin' and dancin'
But I kept right on prancen
Everybody was amazed I was laughin' instead of cryin'
I feel like dyin', feel like cryin'
Everybody was amazed I was laughin' instead of cryin'
Now the joke's on me
But I could not see
Everybody was
I feel like dyin' I feel like cryin'
I said the life of the party
