[Verse 1]
I love it when you just don't care
I love it when you dance like there's nobody there
So when it gets hard, don't be (afraid)
We don't care what them people say
I love it when you don't take no
I love it when you do what you want cause you just said so
Let them all go home, we out late
We don't care what them people say

[Chorus]
And we don’t have to be ordinary
Make your best mistakes
‘Cause we don’t have the time to be sorry
So baby be the life of the party
I’m telling you, Sing! (Take your shot it might be scary)
(Hearts are gonna break), beautiful!
‘Cause we don’t have the time to be sorry
So baby be the life of the party, yeah

[Verse 2]
Together we can just let go
Pretend like there’s no one else here that we know
Slow dance, fall in love as the club track plays
We don’t care what them people say

[Chorus]
And we don’t have to be ordinary
(Make your best mistakes)
‘Cause we don’t have the time to be sorry
So baby be the life of the party
I’m telling you to take your shot it might be scary and
(Hearts are gonna break)
‘Cause we don’t have the time to be sorry
So baby be the life of the party

[Bridge]
Come out tonight, come out tonight
There’s no one standing in your way
Come out tonight, come out tonight
We don’t care what them people say, no no
We don’t care what them people say
This is you guys, sing

[Chorus]
We don’t have to be ordinary
(Make your best mistakes)
Beautiful, keep that going!
‘Cause (we don’t have the time to be sorry)
(So baby be the life of the party)
I’m telling you to take your shot it might be scary and
Hearts are gonna break
We don’t have the time to be sorry
So baby be the life of the party

[Postlude]
Thank you, I love you guys
Thank you so much
