Having A Good Time
Samite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel alive and the world it's turning inside out Yeah!
I′m floating around in ecstasy
So don't stop me now don't stop me
′Cause I′m having a good time having a good time
I'm a shooting star leaping through the skies
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I'm gonna go go go
There′s no stopping me
I'm burning through the sky yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That′s why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you
Don′t stop me now
I′m having such a good time
I'm having a ball
Don′t stop me now
If you wanna have a good time
Just give me a call
Don't stop me now (′cause I'm having a good time)
Don′t stop me now (yes I'm having a good time)
I don't want to stop at all... yeah!
I′m a rocket ship on my way to Mars
On a collision course
I am a satellite I′m out of control
I am a sex machine ready to reload
Like an atom bomb about to
Oh oh oh oh oh explode
I'm burning through the sky Yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That′s why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav′ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic woman of you
Don't stop me
Don′t stop me
Don't stop me
Hey hey hey!
Don't stop me
Don′t stop me
Ooh ooh ooh (I like it)
Don′t stop me
Don't stop me
Have a good time, good time
Don′t stop me
Don't stop me
Ooh ooh alright
Ooh I′m burning through the sky yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I′m trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you
Don't stop me now
I′m having such a good time
I′m having a ball
Don't stop me now
If you wanna have a good time
Just give me a call
Don′t stop me now ('cause I′m having a good time)
Don't stop me now (yes I′m having a good time)
I don't wanna stop at all
La la la la laaaa
La la la la
La la laa laa laa laaa
La la laa la la la la la laaa hey!!...
Samite's song "Having a Good Time" is a joyful and upbeat track that celebrates the pure thrill of life. The song is a statement of pure energy and enthusiasm that is infectious for anyone listening to it. The song starts with the line "Tonight, I'm gonna have myself a real good time," which sets the tone for the rest of the track. The singer is alive and jumping out of his skin as he embraces the sheer joy of being alive. He is floating around in ecstasy and wants to make sure that no one stops him because he's having the time of his life.
The second verse of the song sees the singer take on a more assertive tone as he describes himself as a shooting star, a tiger, and a racing car. He's unstoppable, and he knows it. He's burning through the sky at 200 degrees, which is why they call him Mister Fahrenheit. He's traveling at the speed of light and wants to make a supersonic man out of you.
The song's bridge is a "don't stop me now" plea to anyone who might want to bring the singer down from his euphoric state. He's having a good time, and he doesn't want anyone to ruin it. The chorus repeats this sentiment while urging the listener to give him a call if they want to join in on the fun. The song ends with a sing-along section that highlights the sheer joy at the heart of the track, with the singer repeating "la la la" and encouraging the listener to join in.
