Not sure if my comment qualifies as interesting- but in lyric 2, Ric Ocasek is clearly not singing “my phone call to betray”. Ughh! SO many “lyrics” sites on the web have these kinds of errors…when this was entered here, did the poster even bother to listen to the song, or just transcribe it from A-...
It's my party, you can come
It's my party, have some fun
It's my dream, have a laugh
It's my life, have a half
Don't tell me no
Don't tell me- no
Don't tell me no
Don't tell me- no
Don't tell me no
Don't tell me- no
I like it when you tell me so
It's my transition, it's my play
It's my phone call to betray
It's my hopscotch, light the torch
It's my downtime, feel the scorch
Don't tell me no
Don't tell me- no
(Don't tell me no)
Don't tell me no
Don't tell me- no
(Don't tell me no)
Don't tell me no
Don't tell me- no
I like it when you tell me no
It's my ambition, it's my joke
It's my teardrop, emotional smoke
It's my mercy, it's my plan
I want to go to futureland
Don't tell me no
Don't tell me- no
(Don't tell me no)
Don't tell me no
Don't tell me- no
(Don't tell me no)
Don't tell me no
Don't tell me- no
I like it when you tell me so
Don't tell me no
Don't tell me- no
(Don't tell me no)
Don't tell me no
Don't tell me- no
Don't tell me, I don't want to know
Don't tell me no
Don't tell me- no
(Don't tell me no)
Don't tell me no
Don't tell me- no
(Don't tell me no)
Don't tell me no
Don't tell me- no
