Shawn Mendes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I love it when you just don't care
I love it when you dance like there's nobody there
So when it gets hard, don't be afraid
We don't care what them people say
I love it when you don't take no
I love it when you do what you want 'cause you just said so
Let them all go home, we out late
We don't care what them people say

We don't have to be ordinary
Make your best mistakes
'Cause we don't have the time to be sorry
So baby, be the life of the party
I'm tellin' you to take your shot, it might be scary
Hearts are gonna break
'Cause we don't have the time to be sorry
So baby, be the life of the party

Together we can just let go
Pretend like there's no one else here that we know
Slow dance, fall in love as the club track plays
We don't care what them people say

We don't have to be ordinary
Make your best mistakes
'Cause we don't have the time to be sorry
So baby, be the life of the party
I'm tellin' you, take your shot, it might be scary
Hearts are gonna break
'Cause we don't have the time to be sorry
So baby, be the life of the party

Come out tonight, come out tonight
There's no one standin' in your way
Come out tonight, come out tonight
We don't care what them people say
We don't care what them people say

We don't have to be ordinary
Make your best mistakes
'Cause we don't have the time to be sorry
So baby, be the life of the party
I'm tellin' you, take your shot, it might be scary
Hearts are gonna break
'Cause we don't have the time to be sorry
So baby, be the life of the party

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Life of the party
So don't let 'em keep you down
Oh, you know you can't give up




'Cause we don't have the time to be sorry
So baby, be the life of the party

Here, let me remind ye all again, HUMANS ARE NOT ANIMALS. HUMANS are SPIRITS, created in the IMAGE OF GOD. CREATED IN 3 PARTS: SPIRIT + SOUL + BODY = LIVING SOUL. Animals are created different; in 2 parts: SOUL + BODY. Animals do not have everlasting part: THE SPIRIT. Humans are NOT ANIMALS and can survive ALONE 100%. After the FLOOD, only 8 souls, from millions of humans, survived. ONLY 8 SOULS lived through the FLOOD. Mankind started only with population of 2 souls. How can you all here ever understand and accept the truth if still filling your own heads with nonsense? How can LIES help to understand and accept TRUTH? - lies ant helpful, are these? A human soul and the whole population of humans need only one being in their lives:GOD. Romans 8:16chapter context similar meaning copy save The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: John 4:24chapter context similar meaning copy save God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. If you have GOD in your life, YOU THEN HAVE EVERYTHING. Luke 12:22chapter context similar meaning copy save And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. Matthew 6:25chapter context similar meaning copy save Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Matthew 6:31chapter context similar meaning copy save Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? Matthew 10:19chapter context similar meaning copy save But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. Cant any of you read? GOD Himself clearly saying to MANKIND: take no thoughts nor worrie, for GOD shall provide all that ye need.
Isaiah 11:2chapter context similar meaning copy save
And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;

Mankind being called “animals” is because to keep us in delusions that life is random and not a big deal.
Our lives on this earth is BIG DEAL, and if lived wrong, evil ways, then HELL FIRE shall be our everlasting “home” full of torment; regrets + burning in fire that
does not go out
Our lives on this earth is TEST, we all are tested by GOD, daily, to let GOD see:
- how quickly we turn angry,
- how weak are we, in battles against different temptations,
- How long can we love and care about others,
- how many evil situations can we go through before we break,
- are we hunger for truth,
- are we satisfied with lies,
- are we guarded or easily deceived.
