[Verse 1]
I'm stuck inside this room, tryna play it cool while I'm looking for you
Tryna play it cool while I'm looking for you
I didn't wanna go, but I had to let you know that I'm falling for you
I needa let you know that I'm falling for you

[Pre-Chorus]
People everywhere, I'm pushing through this crowd
I'm sober, I don't even care
I hope when I walk upstairs that I won't be let down
I just want to see you standing there

[Chorus]
You're the only reason I came to this party
So, I'm not gonna leave here with just anybody
Everybody's wasted on their phones
I wanna find a place we can be alone
'Cause you're the only reason I came to this party
I came to this party

[Verse 2]
So, are you making moves? What you been up to?
It's killing me slowly
When all I wanna do is get a second with you
The music's too loud, just wanna hear the sound of you singing softly
We can leave now, we got nothing to lose

[Pre-Chorus]
People everywhere, we're pushing through this crowd
Until we walk right out of here

[Chorus]
You're the only reason I came to this party
So, I'm not gonna leave here with just anybody
Everybody's wasted on their phones
I wanna find a place we can be alone
'Cause you're the only reason I came to this party
I came to this party
I came to this party, yeah

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
You're the only reason I came to this party
So, I'm not gonna leave here with just anybody
'Cause everybody's wasted on their phones
I wanna find a place we can be alone
You're the only reason I came to this party
I came to this party, yeah
I came to this party
I came to this party
'Cause you're the only reason I came to this party
I came to this party
