Lyrics
Standin' on the rooftop,
Just outta earshot,
Lookin' at this gangsta guy.
Thinkin' he's a hotshot,
Pourin' me a big shot,
Try'na get me drunk and high.
He wishes to be seen with me,
In his limousine, and he,
Says we'll have a real good time.
Well, x-x-o, but I want you to know.
Every single night,
In the lights,
I'll be sparklin' bright.
I'm just a party girl,
Try'na get my drinks,
For free, from you.
If you hold me tight,
It's alright,
Let the fire ignite.
Well, I'm a party girl,
And I'm just warning you.
You don't get it,
You just don't get it,
You've already forgotten,
Even though I just said it.
Came tonight to put my,
Work on display,
Bringing New York down,
To St. Tropez.
You don't get it,
You just don't get it,
You've already forgotten,
Even though I just said it.
(One), I won't fall in love,
(Two), I won't ever stop,
(Three), I'm partying all night,
(Four), I'm gonna make it pop!
Oh woah, oh woah,
Oh-aye-aye.
Oh woah, oh woah,
Oh-aye-aye.
Kissin' on your white yacht,
Show me what you got, got,
Play a little rock 'n' roll.
On an island HopStop,
Maybe we should dot, dot, dot,
(Lose control).
Do you think it's really mean,
That I'm only on the scene,
'Cause I want a little danger, boy?
Well, x-x-o, but I told you so.
Every single night,
In the lights,
I'll be sparklin' bright.
I'm just a party girl,
Try'na get my drinks,
For free, from you.
If you hold me tight,
It's alright,
Let the fire ignite.
Well, I'm a party girl,
And I'm just warning you.
You don't get it,
You just don't get it,
You've already forgotten,
Even though I just said it.
Came tonight to put my,
Work on display,
Bringing New York down,
To St. Tropez.
You don't get it,
You just don't get it,
You've already forgotten,
Even though I just said it.
(One), I won't fall in love,
(Two), I won't ever stop,
(Three), I'm partying all night,
(Four), I'm gonna make it pop!
Oh woah, oh woah,
Oh-aye-aye.
Oh woah, oh woah,
Oh-aye-aye.
Oh, it's not about us,
Just forget about us, tonight.
Put your cigarette down,
Baby, light up the town, beside me.
Woah-oh-oh.
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh),
You don't get it,
You just don't get it.
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh),
You've already forgotten,
Even though I just said it.
You don't get it,
You just don't get it,
You've already forgotten,
Even though I just said it.
Came tonight to put my,
Work on display,
Bringing New York down,
To St. Tropez.
You don't get it,
You just don't get it,
You've already forgotten,
Even though I just said it.
(One), I won't fall in love,
