[Intro]
Wooh!
Mmm, yeah
Hahahaha
Wooh, yah!
Wooh! Hahaha, yeah
Now listen...

[Verse 1]
Not a dime, I can't pay my rent
I can barely make it through the week
Saturday night, I'd like to make my girl
But right now, I can't make ends meet, no

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm always workin', slavin' every day
Gotta get a break from that same old, same old
I need a chance just to get away
If you could hear me think this is what I'd say

[Chorus]
Don't need nothin' but a good time
How can I resist?
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time
And it don't get better than this

[Verse 2]
They say I spend my money on women and wine
But I couldn't tell you where I spent last night
I'm really sorry about the shape I'm in
I just like my fun every now-and-then

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm always workin', slavin' every day
Gotta get a break from that same old same old
I need a chance just to get away
If you could hear me think this is what I'd say

[Chorus]
Don't need nothin' but a good time
How can I resist?
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time
And it don't get better than this

[Bridge]
You see I, I raise a toast to all of us
Who are breakin' our backs every day
If wanting the good life is such a crime
Lord, then, put me away, yeah
Here's to ya

[Guitar solo]

Mmm, guitar!

[Chorus]
Don't need nothin' but a good time
How can I resist?
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time
And it don't get better than this
Don't need nothin' but a good time
How can I resist?
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time
And it don't get better than this

[Outro]
It don’t get better, babe
