New Year's Eve

Nina Gordon

Normally I'd be french-twisting my hair

And selecting the right earrings to wear

Oh it's a special evening for most

Normally I'd be proposing a toast

But not this year



Because I'm here the party's all around me

You're there indifference has found me

I know it's not in fashion

Wearing heartache on your sleeve

But I'm here and you're there so who cares

What I wear on New Year's Eve



Normally I'd be knee-deep in champagne

I'd kick my heels up until neighbors complain

Oh it's a glamorous evening for most

And normally I'd be upstaging the host



But not this year

Because I'm here the party's all around me

You're there indifference has found me

I know I should have dressed up

But I just can't make believe

Now I'm here and you're there so who cares

What I wear on New Year's Eve



If you're flirting with some other girl tonight

I'm not flirting with some other guy

I just keep thinking how last year

At midnight you blew me away

With the resolution that you made



I'm here the party's all around me

You're there indifference has found me

And tonight before the ball drops

I'll grab my coat and leave

I'm here and you're there so who cares

What I wear on New Year's Eve

I'm here and you're there so who cares

What I wear on New Year's Eve
