Jessie J Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're feeling nervous
Having your doubts
Don't be embarrassed if you don't fit in the crowd
Keep standing tall
And hold your ground
Show 'em it's not okay to let 'em kick you down

Oh oh oh oh
Don't let em ruin your time
Oh oh oh oh
It's now or never, never
Oh oh oh oh
Just let 'em know it's your life
So do it use it flaunt it, own it
Woo, that's right

Yeah, you better give it everything you got, hey
Just show 'em you're a sexy lady
Yeah, you better work it till it's burning hot
Hey, just show 'em you're a sexy lady
Time is now baby
Look around baby
Just be proud, you're a sexy lady
Rock it out baby
Play it loud baby
Just be proud, all my sexy ladies

So admit it
It's feeling good
Your hips are rolling
And you love it like you should
Work up a sweat
Enjoy the ride
Good girl go get it
Wear your confidence tonight

Oh oh oh oh
Don't let em ruin your time
Oh oh oh oh
It's now or never, never
Oh oh oh oh
Just let 'em know it's your life
So do it use it flaunt it, own it
Aha that's right

Yeah, you better give it everything you got, hey
Just show 'em you're a sexy lady
Yeah, you better work it till it's burning hot
Hey, just show 'em you're a sexy lady

Rock it out baby
Play it loud baby
Just be proud, all my sexy ladies (you sexy)
