After The Afterparty (Acoustic) – Charli XCX

‘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
