Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to.
You would cry too, if it happened to you.

Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone,
But Judy left the same time.
Why was he holding her hand,
When he's supposed to be mine?

It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to,
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to.
You would cry too, if it happened to you.

Play all my records, keep dancing all night,
But leave me alone for a while.
'Til Johnny's dancing with me,
I've got no reason to smile.

It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to, ...

Judy and Johnny just walked thru the door
But like a queen with her king.
Oh, what a birthday surprise,
Judy's wearing his ring.

It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to,
