"Waiting in the Wings"

Cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
...
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.
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
You would cry too
If it happened to you.
Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone
But Judy left the same time.
So I cry
Cry
Cry. - I want to cry
Cry
Cry.
If I want to cry
Cry
Cry - 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
You would cry too
If it happened to you.
