Good Time
MIIA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′m livin' life
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
