Don't Know How to Party

I've heard all the stories

The failures and glories I haven't had either

Boast and toast I'm the best and I'm a mess

I know I'm not neither

Thought I was down as far as any man could go

Thought my highs were giant size

I know now that's not so

I know you heard, know you heard, know you heard

Don't believe a word, not a word, one word

It's been overblown, the truth should be known

Til now I couldn't see

Put my cards on the table while I'm still able

I guess I really don't know how to party

It's blown out of whack, the truth is what's lacking

Til now I couldn't see

The long and the short I'd like to report

I guess I really don't know how to party

Really don't by any shape or form

Whether straight up in the sunshine

Or passed out in a storm

Don't know how but now I know I don't

Will it help me out?

No, it probably won't

Ten nine ain't no hero

Number one at bad behavior

Five, four, three, two, what? not zero

Don't go counting on a savior

I was playing it safe when I'd fall on my face

Entertainment was what I was after

Harmless fun, no damage done

I was out and about for the laughter

Thought I was something really something no one was gonna touch

Ace in the place, kingpin of sin I didn't know too much

Don't believe everything you've heard

Don't believe a solitary word

It's been overblown, the truth should be known

Til now I couldn't see

Put my cards on the table while I'm still able

I guess I really don't know how to party

Really don't by any shape or form

Whether straight up in the sunshine

Or passed out in a storm

Don't know how but now I know I don't

Will it help me out, no it probably won't

I don't have a notion and I don't have a clue

An iota or an inkling where to start or what to do

The foggiest, the faintest, the slightest I ain't got

Will it help me out? Nah, probably not
