Said it won't be long
Til everybody's singing my song
Said it won't be long
Til everybody's singing
Everybody's singing my song

No it ain't no phase

I've been amazing
Look me in my face
No hesitation
Anticipation
Let's get it started (x3)
I walk alone
Dreaming about it
And i'ma touch that moon
I don't need no rocket
Ain't no stopping
Let's get it started (x2)
Yeah...

Said it won't be long
Til everybody's singing my song
Said it won't be long
Til everybody's singing
Everybody's singing my song
Be long
Til everybody's singing my song
It won't be long
Til everybody's singing
Everybody's singing along

Go head go head
The world is watching
Go head go head
The world is watching
Go head go head
The world is watching (x3)
Some do for love
Some do for money
Some wanna party
Some way to hungry
Tired of waiting
I'm tired of waiting
Let's get it started

Said it won't be long
Til everybody's singing my song
Said it won't be long
Til everybody's singing
Everybody's singing my song
Be long
Til everybody's singing my song
It won't be long
Til everybody's singing
Everybody's singing along

Go head go head
The world is watching
Go head go head
The world is watching
Go head go head
The world is watching (x3)
Put your hands in the air
The world is watching
Put your hands in the air
The world is watching
Put your hands in the air
The world is watching (x3)

Said it won't be long (the world is watching)
Til everybody's singing my song (the world is watching)
Said it won't be long (the world is watching)
Til everybody's singing
Everybody's singing my song
Be long (the world is watching)
Til everybody's singing my song (the world is watching)
It won't be long (the world is watching)

Til everybody's singing
Everybody's singing along
