Good Time
MIIA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a butterfly
I set it off
And I fly, fly
I′ve got my friends
Right by my side
To verify
A good time
I say hey, you
Shine like a star 'cause you know that you are
So come through
Free mind, every kind
I just came to have a good time
Oh
Now everybody hands high
Oh
Feels good on cloud 9
Oh
Yeah everything is here, right here, right now, ohh
So here I am
One of a kind
And bottom line
I draw my own design
I'm reachin′ for the diamond skies
Make you whistle high
When I drive by
I say hey, you
Shine like a star ′cause you know that you are
So come through
Free mind, every kind
I just came to have a good time
Oh
Now everybody hands high
Oh
Feels good on cloud 9
Oh
Yeah everything is here, right here, right now, ohh
I just came to have a good time
Oh
Now everybody hands high
Oh
Feels good on cloud 9
Oh
Yeah everything is here, right here, right now, ohh
