I think you need to lighten up
and have some fun
'cuz that's what life's about
you should really live for once
so just grab someone
and go and dance around
don't over think it
just believe in yourself
and life can't get you down
I think you need to lighten up
and have some fun
'cuz that's what life's about
I know you're thinking about some girl
thinking you can't live without her
she's your whole world
and if you can't have her;
then life isn't worth living
life is just so cruel
you wish it'd be forgiving
you wish you could get what you want
and get what you need
you think you know it all-
at the age of 17
you're just a kid
but that doesn't mean your feelings aren't real
but you can't expect her to feel how you feel
I think you need to lighten up
and have some fun
'cuz that's what life's about
you should really live for once
so just grab someone
and go and dance around
don't over think it
just believe in yourself
and life can't get you down
I think you need to lighten up
and have some fun
'cuz that's what life's about
I know she makes you feel like life's as it should be
alone you feel empty
with her you feel complete
she doesn't know what she wants
but it's probably not you
maybe that's why when you see her
she's in a bad mood
but don't worry
you know she's missing out
you're going to be a star
you're a catch; without a doubt
and you can't rely on somebody else to be happy
you have to find it within yourself
I think you need to lighten up
and have some fun
'cuz that's what life's about
you should really live for once
so just grab someone
and go and dance around
don't over think it
just believe in yourself
and life can't get you down
I think you need to lighten up
and have some fun
'cuz that's what life's about
