Ain't No Party

Yes, I (Bb7)knew you were married when I (F7)met you.

Told myself that's the way it's got to be.

But after (Bbmaj7)all (Bb6)these years, the (Am7)best of my (Dm7)life,

my (Bb)life has become a catastrophe.

'Cause (F7)sittin' home waitin' on a (Bb7)man who ain't comin' ain't no party,

no, no, no.

I'm (F7)sittin' here wishin' I had some ambition to (Dm7)get me through,

that it wasn't always you.

(Bb7)Don't I give you (F7)good (Gm7)lovin',

sweet (F)daddy, (Bb7)ev'ry time she lets (F)you slip away?

You're gonna (Bbmaj7)tell her (Bb6)now (Am7)that you (Dm7)love me,

(Bb)and you're gonna tell her today.

'Cause (F7)sittin' home waitin' on a (Bb7)man who ain't comin' ain't no party,

no, no, no.

I'm (F7)sittin' there wishin' I had some ambition to (Dm7)get me through,

that it wasn't always you.

Where's my (Bb7)party?

Where is my party?

Where's the (F7)champagne?

Where's the flowers?

I'm all dressed up in my party dress,

and I been sittin' here for hours.

This ain't no party,

no, no, no, no, it ain't no party,

baby. Now it's been seven years (F7)and it don't take a smarty to realize that even though my man throws confetti in my face,

it still don't make it no party.

(Eb)This ain't (Bb)no (F7)(Bb9)party.

It ain't (F7)no party, baby.

My mama wants to know when you gonna marry me.

If you want me in your life,

you better make me your wife.
