I've been workin', workin' for the man 00:14
But I got other plans tonight 00:17
I hit the first flight outta here 00:21
All these guys in L.A. aren't my type, and Savannah's 25, uh-oh 00:23
Oh-oh, Emma left a man at home 00:28
Sits quietly, sips daiquiri, so I confiscate her phone 00:31
And it's a hard knock life, I'll bet you he survives 00:34
You'll probably end up together, but babe, he's not here tonight, ah 00:37
I'ma put my drink up, it's drinks up now 00:42
I'ma tell my sister she's perfect 00:45
Yeah, I'ma live it up like my life starts now 00:48
Blink and you could miss it, it's over, it's all night 00:52
Yeah, I'ma take a shot, I'ma pour one out 00:55
I'ma fall in love just to find out you're crazy 00:59
I'ma livе it up like my life starts now 01:02
Blink and you could miss her, it's ovеr, it's alright 01:05
I'll be here when it gets bad 01:09
White tea shots, I'm throwin' 'em back 01:10
Do you want the truth? 'Cause I'll give it to you, like 01:12
If he wanted to, then he would 01:16
I don't make the rules, but I should 01:17
In my wildest fantasy, he's the one, but I know 01:19
Oh-oh, it's a long, and windy road 01:21
Any time it leads some guy to me 01:24
And I guess that's all she wrote 01:26
Oh, it's a hard knock life, I'll bet you he survives 01:27
And if we end up together, then I was right, because 01:30
I'ma put my drink up, it's drinks up now 01:35
I'ma tell my sister she's perfect 01:38
Yeah, I'ma live it up like my life starts now 01:41
Blink and you could miss it, it's over, it's all night 01:45
Yeah, I'ma take a shot, I'ma pour one out 01:48
I'ma fall in love just to find out they paid you 01:51
I'ma live it up like my life starts now 01:55
Blink and you could miss it, it's over 01:58
Da-da-da 02:01
Oh, whoa, I wanna make it, but it's fun to be a normal girl 02:03
Da-da-da 02:08
Oh, whoa, I wanna make it though, make it though, make it though 02:11
If I'm being honest, I don't really party, I just sit at home, but 02:17
Well, baby, for the sake of the story 02:21
I'll throw it back to the chorus, oh, here you go 02:24
I'ma put my drink up 02:28
I'ma tell my sister your secrets 02:31
I'ma live it up like 02:35
I'ma take a picture to prove it 02:38
I'll be whipping shots all night 02:42
Dance to the music 02:45
I'ma live it up like my life starts now 02:48
Blink and you could miss it, it's over, it's alright 02:51

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I've been workin', workin' for the man
But I got other plans tonight
I hit the first flight outta here
All these guys in L.A. aren't my type, and Savannah's 25, uh-oh
Oh-oh, Emma left a man at home
Sits quietly, sips daiquiri, so I confiscate her phone
And it's a hard knock life, I'll bet you he survives
You'll probably end up together, but babe, he's not here tonight, ah
I'ma put my drink up, it's drinks up now
I'ma tell my sister she's perfect
Yeah, I'ma live it up like my life starts now
Blink and you could miss it, it's over, it's all night
Yeah, I'ma take a shot, I'ma pour one out
I'ma fall in love just to find out you're crazy
I'ma livе it up like my life starts now
Blink and you could miss her, it's ovеr, it's alright
I'll be here when it gets bad
White tea shots, I'm throwin' 'em back
Do you want the truth? 'Cause I'll give it to you, like
If he wanted to, then he would
I don't make the rules, but I should
In my wildest fantasy, he's the one, but I know
Oh-oh, it's a long, and windy road
Any time it leads some guy to me
And I guess that's all she wrote
Oh, it's a hard knock life, I'll bet you he survives
And if we end up together, then I was right, because
I'ma put my drink up, it's drinks up now
I'ma tell my sister she's perfect
Yeah, I'ma live it up like my life starts now
Blink and you could miss it, it's over, it's all night
Yeah, I'ma take a shot, I'ma pour one out
I'ma fall in love just to find out they paid you
I'ma live it up like my life starts now
Blink and you could miss it, it's over
Da-da-da
Oh, whoa, I wanna make it, but it's fun to be a normal girl
Da-da-da
Oh, whoa, I wanna make it though, make it though, make it though
If I'm being honest, I don't really party, I just sit at home, but
Well, baby, for the sake of the story
I'll throw it back to the chorus, oh, here you go
I'ma put my drink up
I'ma tell my sister your secrets
I'ma live it up like
I'ma take a picture to prove it
I'll be whipping shots all night
Dance to the music
I'ma live it up like my life starts now
Blink and you could miss it, it's over, it's alright
Yay
