"Don't Know How To Party" lyrics

"Don't Know How To Party"

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 ya heard, know ya heard, know ya 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 outta whack
The truth's what's lackin'
'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 countin' 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 somethin'
Really somethin' no one was gonna touch
Ace in the place, kingpin of sin, I didn't know too much
Oh yeah

(Don't believe everything you've heard)
No word. Don't believe a word
(Don't believe a solitary word)
Not a 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

(Don't believe everything you've heard)
I don't have a notion, I don't have a clue
(Don't believe a solitary word)
An iota or an inkling where to start or what to do
(Don't believe everything you've heard)
The foggiest, the faintest, the slightest I ain't got
(Don't believe a solitary word)
Will it help me out? Nah, probably not
