Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Head hurts a little bit wakin' up 'cause
Let it go, yeah, we let it
Baby, I don't regret it
It made me feel on top of the world
Lips wrapped up in a beautiful girl
The party ought to be over now
But I just keep thinkin' about
The way your dress was
Fallin' on the floor like red confetti
Lookin' like a Maybelline belle of the ball
Walkin' down the hall all hot and ready
Like, "Let's get reckless"
Stayin' up all night like
We just turned twelve
Now we're layin' in, feelin' twenty-two
In our birthday suit's, so we might as well
Eat cake for breakfast (Uh uh, uh uh)
Yeah, we might as well
Eat cake for breakfast (Uh uh, uh uh)
Girl, we got a reason to celebrate
'Cause last night was the best
Love we ever made
So let the OJ, champagne pop off
Here's to us rockin' our socks off
Little piece for you, little piece for me
Yeah, that's the only thing that can top off
The way your dress was
Fallin' on the floor like red confetti
Lookin' like a Maybelline belle of the ball
Walkin' down the hall all hot and ready
Like, "Let's get reckless"
Stayin' up all night like
We just turned twelve
Now we're layin' in, feelin' twenty-two
In our birthday suit's, so we might as well
Eat cake for breakfast (Uh uh, uh uh)
Yeah, we might as well
Eat cake for breakfast (Uh uh, uh uh)
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Girl, we got a reason to celebrate
'Cause last night was the best
Love we ever made the best love we ever made
The party started with
The way your dress was (Fallin')
Fallin' on the floor like red confetti
(Like red confetti)
Lookin' like a Maybelline belle of the ball
Walkin' down the hall all hot and ready
Like, "Let's get reckless"
Stayin' up all night like
We just turned twelve
Now we're layin' in, feelin' twenty-two
In our birthday suit's, so we might as well
Eat cake for breakfast (Uh uh, uh uh)
Yeah, we might as well
Eat cake for breakfast (Uh uh, uh uh, yeah)
