I'll Cry If I Want To Lyrics - 1963

[ Buy I'll Cry If I Want To ]

(John Gluck, Jr./Wally Gold/Herbert Weiner)

CHORUS:
It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, 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
Why was he holding her hand
When he's supposed to be mine?

CHORUS

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

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE

Judy and Johnny just walked through the door
Like a queen with her king
Oh, what a birthday surprise
Judy's wearing his ring

CHORUS
(repeat and fade out)
