The Pussycat Dolls Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gimme them bright lights, long nights (Come on yeah)
High rise, overtime (Pussycat Dolls)

[Chorus]
Gimme them bright lights, long nights
Party till the sun is rising
High rise, overtime
Working 'till the moon is shining
Hot guys, fly girls

Hey

I'm ready for the pressure
The drama and the pleasure
Got my whole life here in front of me
I'm taking over when I hit the streets

Glamor, glitter and gold
Nothing is stopping you, nothing is stopping me
In this frenzy out of control
I must stay in pursue, do what I got to do

It's like a roller coaster
One step away I'm closer
I can see it there within my reach
Won't let the city get on top of me
Hey you

Glamor, glitter and gold
Nothing is stopping you, nothing is stopping me
In this frenzy out of control
I must stay in pursue, do what I got to do

I can do it all night long (Nothing can stop me)
They can? place my home (Can't slow me down)
The only thing I know (Is that I won't fall)
And I have it all

Gimme them bright lights, long nights
Party till the sun is rising
High rise, overtime
Working 'till the moon is shining
Hot guys, fly girls
