Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My mother says "when you're gonna live your love right?"
Oh, mama dear when I've been fortunate ones?
And girls, they wanna have fun
Oh, girls just wanna have fun!
Phone rings in the middle of the night,
My father asked "what you're gonna do with your life?"
Oh, daddy dear you know you're still number one,
Oh, girls just wanna have fun!
That's all they really want,
It's all fun!
When the working day is done,
Oh, girls they wanna have fun
Oh, girls just wanna have fun!
Girls, they wanna have wanna have fun
Girls, wanna have fun
Some boys take a beautiful girl in a way from the rest of the world
I wanna be the one to walk in the sun
But girls, they wanna have fun
Oh, girls just wanna have fun!
Girls, they wanna have fun
Oh, girls just wanna have fun!
