[Verse 1]
They say you're nothing but a party girl
Just like a million more all over the world
I know I shouldn't be raising my hopes so high
But I have seen the hungry look in their eyes
They'd settle for anything in disguise of love
Seen the party girls look me over
Seen 'em leaving when the party's over
[Chorus]
They can't touch me now
You say you don't mind
We're so hard to find
I could give you anything but time
[Bridge]
Give it just one more try
Give it a chance
Starts like fascination
Ends up like a trance
[Verse 2]
Oh, you'll never be the guilty party, girl
Maybe someday, we can go hiding from this world
Maybe I'll never get over the change in style
But I don't wanna lock you up and say you're mine
Don't wanna lose you or say goodbye
I'm the guilty party, and I want my slice
But I know you've got me, and I'm in a grip-like vise
[Chorus]
They can't touch me now
You say you don't mind
We're so hard to find
I could give you anything
I would give you anything
I can give you anything but (time)
[Outro]
Give you anything but (time)...
[repeat until fade]
