Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(We-hoo) how's life?
(We-hoo) great
(We-hoo) everybody's going through something (we-hoo)
(We-hoo) they gotta get over it
(We-hoo) you can't go around
(We-hoo) let's just enjoy the time

The night is young, you know
We've just begun
Let's have some fun until the moon turns to the sun and
Look out the deejay's got this party jumping (we-hoo, we-hoo)
It's easy to let loose when you sipping something
Relax, it's what you deserve (we-hoo)
There's no need to be reserved, no

Show me what you're made of
We'll be going, going all night, can you stay up (stay up)
Show me what you're made of
We'll be going, going all night, can you stay up (stay up)

Show me, what you came here for
Show me, what you came here for
Show me, what you came here for
Show me, what you came here for

Telling you can't control what you can't have
You're here, to enjoy yourself
But time, in the back of your mind
Spinning what's left of it on the floor
Have another round and just enjoy this party (we-hoo, we-hoo)
Put your fear aside, go head and grab somebody (we-hoo)
Ain't no limit, no such thing is too much
And if you cause a line in the V-I
I'm waiting on you to show me

Show me what you're made of
We'll be going, going all night, can you stay up (stay up)
Show me what you're made of
We'll be going, going all night, can you stay up (stay up)

Show me, what you came here for
What you came here for, what you came here for
Show me, what you came here for
What you came here for, what you came here for, oh

If you find yourself not knowing what to do
Just lift you hands up high and improvise
And don't you worry about what they think of you
All you can do is just live your life
Whoa, now is the time
Now is the time
So come on show me what you're all about
Right here, right now
Yeah it's the perfect time and place

Show me what you're made of
We'll be going, going all night, can you stay up (can you stay up)
Show me what you're made of
We'll be going, going all night, can you stay up (we'll be going all night)

What you came here for, oh
What you came here for, what you came here for
Show me, what you came here for, oh




What you came here for, oh
Show me
