‘Cause after the afterparty, we’re gonna keep it goin’
We’re gonna rip it up, the neighbors might complain
I think it’s almost 4am, but baby, I’m still feeling just fine
Ice all up in a plastic cup, and I’m a keep on sipping all night, yeah
I might a kissed a thousand lips, but maybe that’s just all in my mind
Some people never understand the way we live, but we’re living life
Uh huh, hey, uh huh, Monday to Sunday, it’s never too late
So everyone say, “We don’t wanna stop!”
‘Cause after the afterparty, we’re gonna keep it goin’
We’re gonna rip it up, the neighbours might complain
‘Cause after the afterparty, we’re gonna stay ’til mornin’
Then when our time is up, we’ll do it all again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We’re all in love
I’m hangin’ on my best friend’s couch and my clothes are all on the floor
I got glitter in my underwear like it was Studio 54, yeah
I can’t remember why I love it, but I need it baby, clap, bring on the encore
Let’s pour another drink, the glasses go
Yeah, we’re always up for one more
Uh huh, hey, uh huh, Monday to Sunday, it’s never too late
So everyone say, “We don’t wanna stop!”
‘Cause after the afterparty, we’re gonna keep it goin’
We’re gonna rip it up, the neighbours might complain
‘Cause after the afterparty, we’re gonna stay ’til mornin’
Then when our time is up, we’ll do it all again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We’re all in love
We’re all in love
Monday to Sunday doing it our way
RiRi on replay, cheers to the weekday
We’re all in, we’re all in love, yeah
And we do it like ice cream for dinner
Bucket of liqueur, we’re getting sicker
Don’t need Ibiza
We’re all in, we’re all in love, yeah
Drop, drop, drop, drop, drop
And we do it like
Monday to Sunday doing it our way
RiRi on replay, cheers to the weekday
We’re all in, we’re all in love, yeah
‘Cause after the afterparty, we’re gonna keep it goin’
We’re gonna rip it up, the neighbours might complain
‘Cause after the afterparty, we’re gonna stay ’til mornin’
Then when our time is up, we’ll do it all again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We’re all in love
We’re all in love
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We’re all in love
We’re all in love)
Monday to Sunday doing it our way
RiRi on replay, cheers to the weekday
We’re all in, we’re all in love, yeah
