I Don't Want to Spoil the Party Lyrics
I would hate for my disappointment to show
There's nothing for me here so I will disappear
If she turns up while I'm gone, please let me know
I've had a drink or two and I don't care
There's no fun in what I do if she's not there
I wonder what went wrong, I've waited far too long
I think I'll take a walk and look for her
Though tonight she's made me sad
I still love her
If I find her I'll be glad
I still love her
I don't want to spoil the party so I'll go
I would hate for my disappointment to show
There's nothing for me here so I will disappear
If she turns up while I'm gone, please let me know
Though tonight she's made me sad
I still love her
If I find her I'll be glad
I still love her
I've had a drink or two and I don't care
There's no fun in what I do if she's not there
I wonder what went wrong, I've waited far too long
I think I'll take a walk and look for her
This song is actually about how John hated going to press conferences and interviews, but the other Beatles loved it, so he didn't "want to spoil the party" and acted like he enjoyed it.
a very underrated song i like it
Yes, I like it... good song. I don't know what its about if anything, but enjoyable nonetheless
Great song. Not sure what the exact meaning is - I had never heard the press conference thing, but it sure would fit. Tight harmonies and a great country flavored guitar from George.
Roseanne Cash does a really good cover of this song.
it is about the 1964 Democrat convention. The Beatles were infatuated with Jackie )
This one's pretty simple. Guy breaks up with girl. They still share the same friends. He doesn't want to be a downer and spoil the party, so he leaves. He leaves a message with the revellers to let him know if his ex shows up at the party. Y' see he still loves her. PS - He's also having a few 'cocktails' to drown his sorrows.
