Lyrics:
I’ve been doing okay
I’ve been doing pretty well
Can’t you tell
By the smile on my face
Can’t you see by the gleam
And the sparkle in my eye
I never really minded
Saying goodbye

And it doesn’t bother me at all
To be sitting here with you
How do you do
And what is new
Don’t you love parties

I’ve been doing okay
Got a promotion and a raise
I’d forgotten all about you
I’m so busy these days
Always out every night
Wish I had some time alone
Don’t trouble to call
You’ll never get me on the phone

And it doesn’t bother me at all
To be standing in the hall
So close to you
Now what do I do
Don’t you love parties

I’ve been doing okay
Not that you care much anyway
I can tell by your eyes
That your thoughts are far away
But you’re talking to me
And you touched me on the shoulder
It’s making me think
That I could get a little bolder

And it doesn’t bother me at all
That I’m asking to take you home
But you’re saying no
You’re not alone
Don’t you love parties

I’ve been doing okay
I’ve been doing pretty well
Can’t you tell
By the smile on my face
Can’t you see by the gleam
And the sparkle in my eye
I never ever really minded
Saying goodbye

And it doesn’t bother me at all
That the writing is on the wall
I feel two feet tall
Like nothing at all
Don’t you hate parties
