Don't Know How To Party

I’ve heard all the stories, the failure 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 wrod, 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 the
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 some-
thing 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 and 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 waht to do.
The foggiest, the faintest, the slightest I ain’t got.
Will it help me out?
Nah, probably not.
