Put your hands up 'cause I won't (right on time)
00:01
Raise a glass up 'cause I won't (my oh my)
00:04
Get your ass up 'cause I won't
00:07
I must have missed the hype
00:09
But maybe that's the way I feel
00:11
Hello, how you doin'? Am I talking too fast?
00:14
I'm runnin' on adrenaline and one-hour naps
00:17
'Cause I do what you tell me to and do it to death
00:20
Do it death
00:22
Acapulco, Tel Aviv, and maybe Japan
00:26
And pretty people yell at me to follow the dance
00:28
So I do what you tell me to and do it to death
00:31
But I can't do this shit again
00:34
Put your hands up 'cause I won't (right on time)
00:37
Raise a glass up 'cause I won't (my oh my)
00:39
Get your ass up 'cause I won't
00:42
I must have missed the hype
00:45
But maybe that's the way I feel
00:46
Put your hands up 'cause I won't (right on time)
00:48
I'm not here 'cause you say so (my oh my)
00:51
Get your ass up 'cause I won't
00:54
I must have missed the hype
00:57
But maybe that's the way I feel (that's the way I feel)
00:58
I don't got a body like I see in the press
01:04
So I got to the precipice of pressing my chest
01:07
And now I look impressive with a couple of pecs
01:10
Just like my friends
01:13
So welcome back and take a breath
01:15
You come to life, you're bored to death
01:18
So welcome back and take a breath
01:21
You come to life but I digress
01:24
Put your hands up 'cause I won't (right on time)
01:27
Raise a glass up 'cause I won't (my oh my)
01:30
Get your ass up 'cause I won't (I won't)
01:33
I must have missed the hype
01:35
But maybe that's the way I feel
01:37
Put your hands up 'cause I won't (right on time)
01:39
I'm not here 'cause you say so (my oh my)
01:42
Get your ass up 'cause I won't (I won't)
01:45
I must have missed the hype
01:47
But maybe that's the way I feel (that's the way I feel)
01:48
01:54
So welcome back and take a breath
01:56
You come to life, you're bored to death
01:59
So welcome back and take a breath
02:02
You come to life, you're bored to death
02:05
So welcome back
02:08
Acapulco, Tel Aviv, and maybe Japan
02:09
And pretty people yell at me to follow the dance
02:12
So I do what you tell me to and do it to death
02:15
But I can't do this shit again
02:18
Put your hands up 'cause I won't (right on time)
02:20
Raise a glass up 'cause I won't (my oh my)
