Garden Party

Текст песни Adam Young - Garden Party

[Verse 1]
I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends
A chance to share old memories and play our songs again
When I got to the garden party, they   knew my name
But no one recognized me, I didn't look the same

[Chorus]
But it’s alright now, I learned my lesson well
You see, you can’t please everyone, so you gotta please yourself

[Verse 2]
People came from miles around and everyone was there
Yoko brought her walrus, there was magic in the air
And over in the corner, much to my surprise
Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan’s shoes, wearing his disguise

[Chorus]
But it’s alright now, I learned my lesson well
You see, you can’t please everyone, so you gotta please yourself

[Verse 3]
I played them all the old songs, I thought that’s why they came
But no one heard the music, we didn’t look the same
I said "Hello" to Mary Lou, she belongs to me
And when I sang a song about a Honky Tonk, it was time to leave
[Chorus]
But it’s alright now, I learned my lesson well
You see, you can’t please everyone, so you gotta please yourself

[Verse 4]
Someone opened up a closet door and out stepped Johnny B. Good
Playin' guitar like ringin' a bell, and looking like he should
If you gotta play at garden parties, I wish you a lot of luck
But if memories were all I sang, I’d rather drive a truck

[Chorus]
But it’s alright now, I learned my lesson well
You see, you can’t please everyone, so you gotta please yourself

[Outro]
You can’t please everyone, so you gotta please yourself
