LIFE OF THE PARTY

By: Derrick N. Ashong

Count your money

But you don't count your wealth

You better

Treat your lady right

You may be the life of the party

But she's my baby tonight

You do your duty

But you don't do it well

You better

Show your lady the light

You may be the life of the party

But she's my baby tonight

Listen close

I'll tell you what I know

Cuz I’ve seen this many a time

Spend your life

In pursuit of a dollar

But you lose your hold on a dime

Sad to say

It happens every day

Very few folks catch it in time

Grab your coat

On the way out the door

But leave your true love out on the line…

Count your money

But you don't count your wealth

You better

Treat your lady right

You may be the life of the party

But she's my baby tonight

You do your duty

But you don't do it well

You better

Show your lady the light

You may be the life of the party

But she's my baby tonight

Now here we go

You've heard it all before

But your girlfriend's

Sweeter than wine

You know she loves you

With the whole of her heart

But I seen her tuggin’ at mine

So keep it movin’

Do just what ya' doin

Leave the whole world

A' weepin' & cryin’

But every tear

That she's dropped yet this year

It's been me she’s callin’ to dry ‘em…

Count your money

But you don't count your wealth

You better

Treat your lady right

You may be the life of the party

But she's my baby tonight

You do your duty

But you don't do it well

You better

Show your lady the light

You may be the life of the party

But she's my baby tonight
