I've heard all the stories    The failures and glories I haven't had either    Boast and toast I'm the best and I'm a mess    I know I'm not neither    Thought I was down as far as any man could go    Thought my highs were giant size    I know now that's not so    I know you heard, know you heard, know you heard    Don't believe a word, not a word, one word    It's been overblown, the truth should be known    Til now I couldn't see    Put my cards on the table while I'm still able    I guess I really don't know how to party       It's blown out of whack, the truth is what's lacking    Til now I couldn't see    The long and the short I'd like to report    I guess I really don't know how to party       Really don't by any shape or form    Whether straight up in the sunshine    Or passed out in a storm    Don't know how but now I know I don't    Will it help me out?    No, it probably won't       Ten nine ain't no hero    Number one at bad behavior    Five, four, three, two, what? not zero    Don't go counting on a savior       I was playing it safe when I'd fall on my face    Entertainment was what I was after    Harmless fun, no damage done    I was out and about for the laughter    Thought I was something really something no one was gonna touch    Ace in the place, kingpin of sin I didn't know too much    Don't believe everything you've heard    Don't believe a solitary word       It's been overblown, the truth should be known    Til now I couldn't see    Put my cards on the table while I'm still able    I guess I really don't know how to party    Really don't by any shape or form    Whether straight up in the sunshine    Or passed out in a storm    Don't know how but now I know I don't    Will it help me out, no it probably won't    I don't have a notion and I don't have a clue    An iota or an inkling where to start or what to do    The foggiest, the faintest, the slightest I ain't got    Will it help me out? Nah, probably not
