[Hook: Shay Haley]
All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom
All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom
All the girls standing in the—All the girls standing in the—
All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom

[Interlude: Pharrell Williams]
Yeah, you know, it's been a minute since, um
We expressed ourselves
It takes a lot of courage to say this, but um
I see sounds

[Verse 1: Pharrell Williams]
You and your girls are going out tonight
Y'all been planning this all week right
You got something boys can't deny
(Here’s a hint) It's like apple pie
Cut you open and you're just wired
You ain’t tired; you wanna cause a riot
Who, who can say no to you?
Wait 'til they get a load of you

[Pre-Hook: Pharrell Williams]
A hundred dollar bills (Look at you, at you)
A hundred dollar bills (Look at you, at you)
A hundred dollar bills (Look at you, at you)
A hundred dollar bills (Look at you, at you)
Because

[Hook: Shay Haley]
All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom
All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom
All the girls standing in the—All the girls standing in the—
All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom

[Verse 2: Pharrell Williams]
Superstar ask you what you have
Bartender get the drank, we just laugh
"He talking 'bout a autograph"
You just wanna dance in your reckless path
Close your eyes, see colorful things
You wanna, let go, feel wonderful things
Just a, bit more just to get in the lane
So we can enter the brain and you can flip with the pain

[Pre-Hook: Pharrell Williams]
A hundred dollar bills (Look at you, at you)
A hundred dollar bills (Look at you, at you)
A hundred dollar bills (Look at you, at you)
A hundred dollar bills (Look at you, at you)
Because

[Hook: Shay Haley]
All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom
All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom
All the girls standing in the—All the girls standing in the—
All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom

[Bridge: Pharrell Williams & Shay Haley]
Baby, you partied all night in sixth gear
Just so you know the AC is blowin' over here
Don't worry, I won’t blow your high
Talkin' bout your life and how it is all wrong
Just know if you go outside
And see the sunrise as all the stars are gone
Tell your friends, they can go
You're okay, you’re just chilling with me
Here’s a towel, wipe your face
Cool down, have a drink, it’s on me
Here's a towel (Here's a towel) wipe your face (Wipe your face)
Cool down (Cool down) have a drink, it's on me
Here's a towel (Here's a towel) wipe your face (Wipe your face)
Cool down (Cool down) but you would rather party, cause

[Hook: Shay Haley]
All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom
All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom
All the girls standing in the—All the girls standing in the—
All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom
All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom
All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom
All the girls standing in the—All the girls standing in the—
All the girls standing in the—

N.E.R.D. (officially stylized as NER*D, as seen on their covers) is a backronym that stands for No-One Ever Really Dies.

N.E.R.D. is a hip-hop and rock band whose members include Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, also known as The Neptunes, and Shae Haley. The band was formed as a side project by the Neptunes in 1999. Williams and Hugo had known each other since 1985 when they were 12, and they met Shae Haley a few years later in high school. Hugo and Williams signed a deal when they graduated high school in 1992 and eventually, Hailey joined them when N.E.R.D. was formed.

In September 2001 the band released their first album, In Search Of in Europe. They used digital production for the project but when they prepared for the worldwide release a year later they opted to re-record the album with a live funk rock band known as Spymob. Two years later in March of 2004, they released their second album, Fly or Die. Unfortunately, the two albums didn’t have nearly as much success as The Neptunes production work—collectively the two albums barely broke a million copies sold. In 2005 the group supposedly disbanded because of a dispute with Virgin Records, but Pharrell contradicted this claim in an April 2008
