[Verse 1]
I'm talking to the mirror again, but it's not listening
I'm cleaning my dirty mind like a toilet, but it won't give in
I'm drinking spirits in the hopes that I will find myself one
But all I can rectify is that the party's just begun

[Chorus]
Party's just begun
Party's just begun
Party's just begun
Party's just begun

[Verse 2]
I feel like falling asleep and never waking up
It's not that my glass is empty, but I need another cup
When all of the doors around me just shut one by one
I feel like falling asleep, but the party's just begun

[Chorus]
Party's just begun
Party's just begun
Party's just begun
Party's just begun

[Verse 3]
Shaky, shaky steps in the middle of the day
A fire in my path and a cool decay
Of limbs and tooth under my skin
Oh, freedom, where do I begin?
I'm changing my inflection and how I say the words
Maybe it will sound like something they've never heard
Oh, death of the party
I picked up the chalice of malice
And drank till I was full, I drank till I was full
I was thirsty, but I drank till I was full
I drank 'til I, 'til I, 'til I was full

[Bridge]
There's a fever in my bones that I know so well
I keep my head low low low to avoid the swell
But it'll be cold in hell, it'll be cold in hell
Before they put me in that chamber
So I'm cleaning up as fast as I can
I'm cleaning up as fast as I can
'Cause you can't unbreak what you break, you can't unfake the very fake
You cannot fuel without a tank
No, you can't unbreak what you break, what you break

[Chorus]
Party's just begun
Party's just begun
Party's just begun
Party's just begun
Party's just begun
Party's just begun
Party's just begun
Party's just begun

Nelly Furtado

Nelly Kim Furtado (born December 2, 1978) is a Portuguese-Canadian singer and songwriter. The songstress is well-known for hits such as “I’m Like a Bird”, “Turn Off the Light”, and “Promiscuous”.

She began her career in 1996 contributing vocals to Plains of Fascination’s “Walkin' 4 The Streets” and forming Nelstar. After leaving the group, Furtado released her debut single “Party’s Just Begun (Again)”.

Her debut album Whoa! Nelly was released in 2000 to worldwide success with hits such as “I’m Like a Bird”, “Turn Off the Light”, and “…On the Radio (Remember the Days)”. It received four Grammy nominations and one of the singles won for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. It’s sold nine-million copies worldwide to date. Folklore is Furtado’s second album released in 2003. The album was not as successful as the previous one due to change in sound. “Try” and “Powerless (Say What You Want)” were the only top-ten hits from the album.
