Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm checking out my lipstick
Girlfriends up in the back
We're out for a ride all night
Feelin' so crazy cool, bop so righ
Wonder what they're waiting for

Skip on the drinks head to the floor
Making my way and that's for sure
My body's takin' over and I want some more
