Lyrics
RedOne
Let's go to the beach, each, let's go get a wave
They say, what they gonna say?
Have a drink, clink, found the Bud Light
Bad b------ like me, is hard to come by
The Patrón, own, let's go get it on
The zone, own, yes I'm in the zone
Is it two, three, leave a good tip
I'ma blow all my money and don't give two…
I'm on the floor, floor, I love to dance
So give me more, more 'til I can't stand
Get on the floor, floor like it's your last chance
If you want more, more, then here I am
Starships were meant to fly
Hands up and touch the sky
Can't stop, 'cause we're so high
Let's do this one more time
Starships were meant to fly
Hands up and touch the sky
Let's do this one last time
Can't stop…
We're higher than a m-----f-----
We're higher than a m-----f-----
We're higher than a m-----f-----
Jump in my hooptie hooptie hoop, I own that
And I ain't paying my rent this month, I owe that
But check who you want, and check who you like
That's our life, there's no end in sight
Twinkle, twinkle little star
Now everybody let me hear you say, ray, ray, ray
Now spend all your money 'cause today's pay day
And if you're a G, you a G, G, G
My name is Onika, you can call me Nicki
Get on the floor, floor like it's your last chance
If you want more, more, then here I am
Starships were meant to fly
Hands up and touch the sky
Can't stop 'cause we're so high
Let's do this one more time, oh
Starships were meant to fly
Hands up and touch the sky
Let's do this one last time
Can't stop…
We're higher than a m-----f-----
We're higher than a m-----f-----
We're higher than a m-----f-----
Starships were meant to fly
Hands up and touch the sky
Can't stop 'cause we're so high
Let's do this one more time
Starships were meant to fly
Hands up and touch the sky
Let's do this one last time
Can't stop…
We're higher than a m-----f-----
We're higher than a m-----f-----
We're higher than a m-----f-----
