Enjoy Yourself
The Jacksons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself with me
Enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself with me
You better enjoy yourself
Better enjoy yourself

You sittin' over there
Starin' into space
While people are dancin'
Dancin' all over the place
You shouldn't worry
About things that you can't control
Come on, girl, while the night is young
Why don't you let yourself, let yourself go?
Woo

Enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself with me
Enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself with me

Let's have some fun
Let's have a good time you and me
Sittin' there with your mouth poked out
Just sweet as you can be
Why don't you live
Live the life you've got?
Come on, girl, let's get it
While the music's runnin' hot
Woo

Enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself with me
Enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself with me

Pretty girl, I've been watching you
I can wipe away that frown
Ah, you and I can get together
We can tear the house down
We can tear the house down
We can tear the whole house down, woo

Enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself with me
Enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself with me
Better enjoy yourself
You got to enjoy yourself

Say it again, hey
(Enjoy yourself) enjoy yourself
(Get down, get down) get on down
(Enjoy yourself) enjoy yourself
(Get down, get down) just get on down
(Enjoy yourself) enjoy yourself
(Get down, get down) just get on down
(Enjoy yourself) enjoy yourself
(Get down get down) just get on down

(Come on) come on
(Come on) come on
(Come on) come on
(Come on)

You can do it, you can do it
You can do it, you can do it

Woo (oh, hey)
Get on down, ooh
Get on, on down, ohh

(Enjoy yourself) enjoy yourself
(Get down, get down) get down, get down
(Enjoy yourself) enjoy yourself
(Get down, get down) get down, get down
(Enjoy yourself) enjoy yourself
(Get down, get down) enjoy yourself
(Get down, get down) get down, get down
(Enjoy yourself) enjoy yourself
(Get down, get down) just get on down
(Enjoy yourself) got, got
(Get down, get down) got, got, get on down
(Enjoy yourself) enjoy yourself
(Get down, get down) get down, down
(Get down, get down) get down, get down
(Enjoy yourself) enjoy yourself
(Get down, get down) just get on down
(Enjoy yourself) enjoy yourself
(Get down, get down) get down, get down
(Enjoy yourself) enjoy yourself




(Get down, get down) just, just, just get on down
(Enjoy yourself) get down
