Late to the Party Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They're blowing up our phones, asking where we are
Just say we're almost there; we ain't even in the car

You're rolling one for two and I'm still picking out my shoes
I'm never late to the party if I'm late to the party with you

[Verse 2]
By the time we get there, everybody will be drunk
The chairs will be on tables and the band will be unplugged
We're gonna look real good, but we're gonna look real rude
I'm sorry I'm not sorry that I'm...


[Chorus]
Late to the party with you
Oh, who needs confetti?
We're already falling into the groove
And who needs a crowd when you're happy at a party for two?
The world can wait
'Cause I'm never late to the party if I'm late to the party with you

[Verse 3]
Let's promise when we get in that we'll try to get right out
Fake a couple conversations, make the necessary rounds

These kinda things just turn into "Who's leaving here with who?"
But I just want 'em all to see me come in...
[Chorus]
Late to the party with you
Oh, who needs confetti?
We're already falling into the groove
And who needs a crowd when you're happy at a party for two?
The world can wait
'Cause I'm never late to the party if I'm late to the party with you

[Chorus]
Late to the party with you
Oh, who needs confetti?
We're already falling into the groove
And who needs a crowd when you're happy at a party for two?
The world can wait
'Cause I'm never late to the party if I'm late to the party with you
No, I'm never late to the party if I'm late to the party with you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“Late to the Party,” written with Brandy Clark and Josh Osborne, is one of Kacey Musgraves’s favorite songs from her sophomore album, Pageant Material. In the song, whose melody HITS Daily Double says “could’ve flowed out of some dreamy Laurel Canyon enclave in the early ‘70s,” Musgraves prefers the company of her significant other over the small talk and decorum of a social convention.
