Jonas Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was sittin' at home watching TV all alone
So tired of routines, the day goes on and on
So I pick up the phone, call everyone I know
I said there's going to be a party
Hit the music, here we go, yeah
Everybody is in the groove
Tell the DJ to play my song
Are you ready to rock and roll?
(Hey, hey, hey)
We were out on the floor, yeah, we danced the night away
Then she looked at her watch and said that it was late
Then she pulled me aside and said she couldn't stay
(I really gotta go)
But I begged her for one more song
Let the music play, yeah
You gotta live to party, bust your move
Everybody is in the groove
Tell the DJ to play my song
Are you ready to rock and roll?
(Hey, hey, hey)
I drove her home, and then she whispered in my ear
The party doesn't have to end
We can dance here
Live to party, bust your move
