Have a Good Time
 
Don't let your feelings get out of control
In the nightclub at twelve o'clock you're on your own
They look at you as if you're in the wrong
But don't worry about it, they're playing your song.
 
People stare at you, push their chair at you
Wish they could be like you are
Have a good time, don't hide away in the shade
Have a good time, show them that you're not afraid.
 
Don't lose your feet when you dance to the beat
Don't let nobody put you off, don't let them cheat you
From your pride and inside you'll feel like you've won
Just enjoy yourself and you know you'll have some fun.
 
People stare at you, push their chair at you
Wish they could be like you are
Have a good time, don't hide away in the shade
Have a good time, show them that you're not afraid.
Have a good time, find a girl you can stay with to the end
That's the time when no-one can pretend.
 
People stare at you, push their chair at you
Wish they could be like you are.
 
Don't let nobody else take her away from you
You'll find she'll kiss after what you will turn to do
And when you walk her home you'll say "Goodnight"
And "I'll see you tomorrow" and she'll say "Alright".
Have a good time, don't hide away in the shade
Have a good time, show them that you're not afraid.
Have a good time, find a girl you can stay with to the end
That's the time when no-one can pretend.
 
Have a good ti-i-i-ime
Have a good ti-i-i-ime
Have a good ti-i-i-ime
Have a good ti-i-i-i-ime
