[Chorus] 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 Hearts are gonna break 'Cause we don't have the time to be sorry So, baby, be the life of the party
[Chorus] 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, take your shot, it might be scary 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 We don't care what them people say
[Chorus] 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, take your shot, it might be scary Hearts are gonna break 'Cause we don't have the time to be sorry So, baby, be the life of the party
[Outro] Yeah, yeah, yeah Life of the party So, don't let 'em keep you down Oh, you know you can't give up 'Cause we don’t have the time to be sorry So, baby, be the life of the party
