Afterhours
Jonny McGovern Feat. Adam Joseph Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You go get your friends and
I′ll go get my friends and
We'll have an after hours and party ′til the mornin'

4am (party done?)
Not for everyone
4: 15 change of scene
Party just begun

You know whatshisface, Girl
(Yeah he's got that place)
Turn and walk away, Girl
(Here comes Mr. Face)

Someone′s doing runway in the corner
Someone′s doing bumps in the back
People talking bullshit that don't matter
Let′s just be like Whitney and get cracked.

Oh...
You go get your friends and
I'll go get my friends and
We′ll have an after hours and party 'til the mornin′

Eyes go up
Pants go down
If you're looking for me I can be found
(Messing round)
In the bathroom with your boyfriend.

Got a lot of stuff to do but not a lot of time
The sun is coming up
I got to be at work by 9
The night is over but you know I just don't care
I want to push this party on
Get in your underwear

Someone′s rubbing booty in the corner
Someone′s getting humped in the back
Looks like Miss José just don't like clothing
Slide those manties down let′s see some crack

Oh...
You go get your friends and
I'll go get my friends and
We′ll have an after hours and party 'til the mornin′

Eyes go up
Pants go down
If you're looking for me I can be found
(Messing round)
In the bathroom with your boyfriend

(Late night)
Looking for some fun
(Late night)
No I'm not the only one
(Late night)
With your crew or [?]
(Late night)
It′s a cracked out fantasy

Oh...
You go get your friends and
I′ll go get my friends and
We'll have an after hours and party ′til the mornin'

Eyes go up
Pants go down
If you′re looking for me I can be found
(Messing round)
In the bathroom with your boyfriend

That's right I said I′m gonna be in the bathroom with your boyfriend
What cha gonna do 'bout it?
Shit I'm just kidding
Come on over
You don′t need to go to work tomorrow




Shit... just stay up
Let′s have a after hours, Baby

Overall Meaning

The song "Afterhours" by Jonny McGovern Feat. Adam Joseph is all about partying and having fun even when it's beyond normal hours. The idea is to bring together a group of friends and party until the morning light. The lyrics suggest that the party may include drugs and promiscuous behavior. As the night goes on, people change locations, someone is doing runway in the corner, and others are doing bumps in the back. Despite all the activities happening, the focus is on having fun and forgetting one's problems.


There is a sense of an escape in the song, and the lyrics suggest that the party-goers have no plans to stop until the morning. They are living in the moment, and nothing else matters except having fun. In the chorus, they invite their friends to join them as they continue the party, even though it is way beyond the standard party time. The lyrics are intended to be humorous, and the casual nature of the song's message gives listeners a glimpse of the party scene from the perspective of those in it.
