Party Doll
Ricky Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, all I want is a party doll
To come along with me when I'm feelin' wild,
To be everlovin' and true and fair,
To run her fingers through my hair.

Come along and be my party doll.
Come along and be my party doll.
Come along and be my party doll.
I'll make love to you, to you,
I'll make love to you.

Well, I saw a gal walkin' down the street,
The kind of a gal I would love to meet.
She had blonde hair and eyes of blue.
Baby, I'm a-gonna have a party with you.

Come along and be my party doll.
Come along and be my party doll.
Come along and be my party doll.
I'll make love to you, to you,
I'll make love to you.

Ev'ry man has gotta have a party doll,
To be with him when he's feelin' wild,
To be everlovin', true, and fair,
To run her fingers through his hair,
To run her fingers through his hair.

Come along and be my party doll.
Come along and be my party doll.
Come along and be my party doll.




I'll make love to you, to you,
I'll make love to you.
