Tik Tok
Tyler Ward Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy
(Hey, what up girl?)
Grab my glasses, I'm out the door
I'm gonna hit this city (Lets go)
Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack
Cause when I leave for the night, I ain't coming back

I'm talking - pedicure on our toes, toes
Trying on all our clothes, clothes
Boys blowing up our phones, phones
Drop-topping, playing our favorite cd's
Pulling up to the parties
Trying to get a little bit tipsy

Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, Imma fight
Till we see the sunlight
Tik tok, on the clock
But the party don't stop, no
Woah-oh oh oh
Woah-oh oh oh
Ain't got a care in world, but got plenty of beer
Ain't got no money in my pocket, but I'm already here
And now the dudes are lining up cause they hear we got swagger
But we kick em to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger
I'm talking about - everybody getting crunk, crunk
Boys trying to touch my junk, junk
Gonna smack him if he getting too drunk, drunk
Now, now - we goin till they kick us out, out
Or the police shut us down, down
Police shut us down, down
Po-po shut us down, down

Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, Imma fight
Till we see the sunlight
Tik tok, on the clock
But the party don't stop, no
Woah-oh oh oh
Woah-oh oh oh
DJ, you build me up
You break me down
My heart, it pounds
Yeah, you got me
With my hands up
You got me now
You got that sound
Yeah, you got me

DJ, you build me up
You break me down
My heart, it pounds
Yeah, you got me
With my hands up
Put your hands up
Put your hands up
Now, the party don't start until I walk in

Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, Imma fight
Till we see the sunlight
Tik tok, on the clock
But the party don't stop, no




Woah-oh oh oh
Woah-oh oh oh

Watching your old vids right know.. Makes me so sad, miss this so much! This was you.. Listen to your music since the beginning.. I miss you Tyler! much love from Germany no matter what I'll be always a fan.. Maybe we will see us on a tour someday again.. I still know the first concert when you were the opening for boyce avenue and I asked you in a quiet moment "Will you marry me Tyler?" and you responded " Yeah sure who sad this?" and then you sang wonderwall just for me because it was my favorite song.. That day was so amazing. Hope you remember those little things,too.
