Shania Twain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Okay
Don't wanna wait in line, uh, uh
It's such a waste of time, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Won't find me on the couch, uh, uh
Sleeping like a slouch, uh, uh, uh, uh
I don't like sitting down doing nothing
I'd rather spend my time doing something
Ain't no need to plan it
Jump right in and jam it
No need to say no
Oh, oh, oh
(I'm not in the mood) I'm not in the mood
(I'm not in the mood) to be shy
To stand by and not give it a try
(I'm not in the mood) no, I'm not in the mood
(I'm not in the mood) to stay home
Be alone, face the night on my own
No, I'm (I'm) not (not) in the mood (to say)
To say (to say) to say no (huh)
I won't be laying low, uh, uh
It's not my style to take it slow, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
No, it ain't like me to slack, uh, uh
There's no time for holding back
Uh, uh, uh, uh
I won't be sitting down doing nothing
I'd rather spend my time doing something
Ain't no need to plan it
Jump right in and jam it
No need to say no
Oh, oh, oh
(I'm not in the mood) I'm not in the mood
(I'm not in the mood) to be shy
To stand by and not give it a try
(I'm not in the mood) no, I'm not in the mood
(I'm not in the mood) to stay home
Be alone, face the night on my own
No, I'm (I'm) not (not) in the mood (to say)
To say (to say) to say no (huh)
Uh, uh, mmm, ah, ah, woo
I'm jumping right in, ah yeah, huh, woo
I'm jumping right in
Oh, I'd rather spend my time doing something
I won't be sitting 'round doing nothing
Ain't no need to plan it
Jump right in and jam it
No need to say no
Oh, oh, oh
(I'm not in the mood) I'm not in the mood
(I'm not in the mood) to be shy
To stand by and not give it a try
(I'm not in the mood) no, I'm not in the mood
(I'm not in the mood) to stay home
Be alone, face the night on my own
No, I'm (I'm) not (not) in the mood (to say)
To say (to say) to say no

This is most definitely "one" the mainstream vibe missed. I love this song, gets me swingin'
@leifberg3379
It's a problem when most of your music is a "Hit" ... with the public.... some just gets passed by...one of my faves from Shania...another one that missed the "Hit" category is "Ka Ching".
