Amy Winehouse - It's My Party Lyrics






[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]
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

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]
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

[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]
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
[repeat and fade out]

    Nice, nice, more and more niceness, wicked queen amy jade .

  43. A.... 5....

    Original is better.

  44. H.... M....

    I love Amy but this song, Body and Soul and A Song for You all sound crappy. I don't like the change in her voice.

    H.... M....

    Gui Adrião Deaf?

    H.... M....

    @Heap Mo lmao her voice has a slight down pitch and u say its crappy?? sry man but u dont know how to critique properly, her voice the note she made, the way she pulled her soul out it's all amazing, im rlly sry if u can't see that

    H.... M....

    Gui Adrião - Her voice isn’t the same. It’s damaged from smoking and alcohol. She can’t hit the high notes in 2010. Yea, she can sing but her voice was shot. You’re deaf dude.

    H.... M....

    @Heap Mo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmJrjLqNU08 here u go buddy, recorded in 2010 , the lows make the hit notes sound angry and filled with soul, try to get some info before commenting shit, she had a bad voice phase in 2010, but it didnt it was just a short amount of time

  45. R.... S....

    In her dad's book "Amy, My Daughter", he says this was recorded in 2010. She wasn't drunk, but it's obvious the drinking and drugs did somethin to her voice. Miss her dearly

    R.... S....

    I love Amy but we all know she sounds drunk even if she's sober

  46. b.... ....

    i guess her voice sounds different cause of drugs and booze but also she was getting older as we all do and our voices do change,think about it ,do you realllly sound like you did when you were a teen,cause amy was a teen when she started singing ,so i think her voice would have changed regardeless to the damage from other things,it was just good to see her working at it and getting better but the mind is a strange black area even for the doctors and our emotions cause so much damge too ,i thought she was lookin better and enjoying singing again,cause thats what she really lost for awhile ,her desire to,r.i.p.amy

  47. a.... ....

    Te amo y te extraño tanto AMY😭😭😭😭😭Tantas canciones que no cantaste...fuck😞
    REINA FOREVER 👑❤️👸🏻

  48. E.... R....

    😗😗😘👏👏👏

  49. P.... B....

    adoro essa música da Amy, como faz saudade essa mulher

  50. F.... L....

    what you mean Melanie Martinez?
    PROBLEM CHILD for christ sake !!! (read in Sean Connery voice that last line)

  51. J.... ....

    Melanie Martinez?

    J.... ....

    no its not her song

  52. B.... B....

    Love love love! Some people don't 'get her', but those who do realize how talented and special she really was.

  53. G.... ....

    MELANIE MARTINEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    G.... ....

    oh caralha vai pesquisar isso nao é um cover de melanie martinez, a original é Its My Party de Lesley Gore

    G.... ....

    Gabitch literally why would you comment this

    G.... ....

    Melanie se inspirou na Amy

    G.... ....

    Leslie Gore*

    G.... ....

    @beatchef Probably not. Lesley Gore and Martinez' grandmother were probably both born in the 40s

  54. M.... v....

    Amy 4 ever <3

  55. B.... ....

    I heard this version on the radio the other day, and I love her singing on it - every skewed bit of pronunciation and every brilliantly played with note.
    I wish she was still around so I could see her sing it - I can see her in my mind's eye doing that little shuffle step she used to do

    B.... ....

    really?!!? i never hear amy on the radio these days 😔

    B.... ....

    Lisa Tarbuck plays mostly non-mainstream songs on her Saturday evening BBC Radio 2 show, and some pretty eclectic choices too, 1930' jazz, 1950's blues, reggae, all kinds of stuff, and that's where I heard it.

    B.... ....

    +BackToTheBlues ohh ok cool

    B.... ....

    Her little shuffle step! She was so alive to the music... 😢

  56. G.... N....

    What does she say when she talks?

    G.... N....

    +Vary Varo I'm hearing; Judith - you know you want this girl, but all good things must come to an end. And don't you know, sisters come before carpet burns and blisters - I learnt the hard way again.

  57. R.... D....

    It's my song and I ruin it I want to. What a shitty version, this sucks sooooo hard!

    R.... D....

    no one gives af about ur opinion

    R.... D....

    Lesley Gore was totally a real artist... She wrote this at 16, and it was the first song ever to be written and recorded by a female artist.. And reach #1 on the charts. There's nothing wrong with this version... But, just cause you disagree with this guy, is no reason to smear miss Gore yo

    R.... D....

    +Ruben Del Mazo
    you'd better walked a mile in her shoes, before you critisize and abuse...

    R.... D....

    a agree she went through a lot of abuse and this is a pretty good cover in my opinion.

    R.... D....

    @Ruben Del Mazo u cant deny she was a real artist first of all watch her documentary, second she developed amazing lyrics from her experiences in relationships, her voice was amazing, she was a maniax depressive, you wont go through HALF of what she suffered in ur miserable life, she WAS GENUINE And had to find a way to go through shit, yeh she might not be the artist that everyone should look up too but SHE WAS AN AMAZING ARTIST thats undeniable sorry

  58. T.... G....

    some one greater, than what she realized, terrible of clinger-oners,

  59. M.... -....

    Well. She officially raped this classic song.

    M.... -....

    no one said u had to like the cover

  60. A.... G....

    I want the last image, where it says I Love to W please...I love her..... :(

  61. G.... G....

    It's my party and I cry if I want to

  62. R.... L....

    Diva maravilhoooooooosa

  63. S.... A....

    Even drunk singing still sounds bright

    S.... A....

  64. K.... M....

    .......................

  65. D.... ....

    Terrible ....

    D.... ....

    D.... ....

    D.... ....

    Do you know how old I am and your talking to me like I am 29 years old

    D.... ....

    D90Girl bitch, you talkin shit to a respectful person. U r so ignorant go fuck yourself w a cactus

  66. k.... ....

    I assume this was recorded in 2009-10 when she was testing the waters for a comeback. The damage done was extremely obvious, not even in her singing voice but her speaking voice as well. You can also hear on Between The Cheats and A song For You. This is when she REALLY started to sound like Billie Holiday (who also was a full blown alcoholic/Drug Addict). It's really hard to find a decent performance from her post 2008. I always wondered had she'd gotten her shit together much sooner (i guess Mid-2007) maybe the mess wouldn't have been so hard to clean up. When she went to Rehab in 2009 she should've went for Drugs AND alcohol.

    k.... ....

    +kayteeelle This was recorded in 2010 for the Quincy Jones tribute album. I totally agree that both her singing and speaking voice were very obviously different starting in later 2009 or early 2010. The excessive drinking alone would have seriously altered her vocal tone/range, but then the crack could have played it's part by this point as well. Much huskier and just a lot deeper, really. Interestingly, I don't hear the difference on "Between The Cheats" which was (thankfully) recorded in 2008, she sounds very much like she did on the Back To Black album. But I do hear it on "A Song For You". 


    I actually love her performance here on "It's My Party", she does it in her distinctive style and even with her voice changed she still sounds amazing and she really puts her heart into it. Her range and tone overall may have been seriously altered/shortened forever (there was no way she could ever sound the same once that damage was done) but she still sounded as amazing, even with her new vocal limits she didn't have before. Her unique phrasing and emotive soulfulness were never going to be changed because they weren't "technical" aspects of her voice. In a way it was a drop in quality, for sure, but her voice was always so unique I still loved it.


    Did she go rehab in 2009 right after she got back from St. Lucia?

    k.... ....

    Kalkscheune was a pretty good gig, actually, so was Zenith Paris (I think that was in 2007, maybe I'm wrong) but her performances in Rio were pretty amazing too. Her cover of Boulevard of Broken Dreams was lovely

    k.... ....

    And yet she scoffed at Billie Holiday and called her bad..I lost a bit of respect for Amy when she said that.

    k.... ....

    Gin Weston I don’t think she meant it. She did listen to billie Holliday and said she liked her before but I think after back to black she was just sick of people comparing her to billie Holliday which I imagine as a singer with your own distinctive style, that can be irritating. So she just tried to put an end to it and joke around saying she’s shit

  67. F.... O....

    What a nice version :')

    F.... O....

    +Facundicio Osuna the best version

  68. F.... D....

    it's so  sweet !!!!
