1999
Don't worry, won't hurt U
only want U 2 have some fun
was dreamin' when wrote this
4give me if it goes astray
But when woke up this morning
Coulda sworn it was judgment day
The sky was all purple
There were people runnin' everywhere
Tryin' 2 run from the destruction
U know didn't even care
Cuz they say 2000, zero zero, party over
Oops! Out of time
So 2night 'm gonna party like it's 1999
was dreamin' when wrote this
So sue me if go 2 fast
But life is just a party & parties weren't meant 2 last
War is all around us
My mind says prepare 2 fight
So if gotta die, 'm gonna listen 2 my body 2night
Yeah
They say 2000, zero zero, party over
Oops! Out of time
So 2night 'm gonna party like it's 1999
Yeah
People, let me tell ya somethin'...
If U didn't come 2 party
Don't bother knockin' on my door
got a lion N my pocket
&, baby, he's ready 2 roar
Yeah
Everybody's got a bomb
We could all die any day
Oh
But b4 'll let that happen
'll dance my life away
Oh
They say 2000, zero zero, party over
Oops! Out of time
We're runnin' outta time
So 2night we're gonna, we're gonna... oh!
