Introduction
When most people think of Linda Ronstadt, they picture the sweet, melodious voice of America’s favorite songbird, a figure of elegance and charm. But with “Party Girl”, Ronstadt shatters every expectation. The track explodes with raw energy, daring listeners to confront a side of her persona that feels untamed, electric, and audacious.
This isn’t just a song—it’s a declaration. From the opening riff, Ronstadt catapults us into the whirlwind life of a woman unafraid of chaos, nightlife, and freedom. The lyrics drip with a mischievous charisma, painting a portrait of someone who refuses to be confined by society’s rules or by the soft, delicate image many have long associated with her. “Party Girl” is provocative, teasing, and unashamedly bold—a sonic slap that challenges the quiet, reserved perceptions of one of music’s most beloved voices.

If you thought you knew Linda Ronstadt, think again. The party has just begun, and she’s leading it, unapologetically.

Lyrics
They say I’m nothing but a party girl
Just like a million more all over the world
I know I shouldn’t be raising my hopes so high
But I have seen the hungry look in their eyes
They’d settle for anything in disguise of love
Seen the party girls look you over
Seen them leaving when the party’s over
They can’t touch me now
You say you don’t mind
We’re so hard to find
I could give you anything but time
Give it just one more try
Give it a chance
Starts like fascination
Ends up like a trance
You’ll never be the guilty party will you
Maybe someday we can go hiding from this world
Maybe I’ll never get over this change in style
But I don’t want to lock you up and say you’re mine
Don’t want to lose you or say good-bye
I’m the guilty party and I want my slice
But I know you’ve got me in a grip-like vise
They can’t touch me now
You say you don’t mind
We’re so hard to find
I could give you anything
I would give you anything
I can give you anything but time
Time
Time
Time
