Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I told you once, "Get out my life, I don't need ya, I'll be alright."
But some things are better left unsaid
So tell the truth and hit me hard, my broken heart is all I have now
But some things are better left unsaid

[Pre-Chorus]
And I swore that I would never say
"I miss you more every day"
But some things are better left unsaid
Are better left unsaid, said, said...

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm gonna say things like, "Shut up and kiss me!"
Oh, tonight I'm gonna lose some face, don't blame me, just kiss me
If you wanna party, put your hands up
Put your hands up put your hands up
Don't blame me, just kiss me, oh
Tonight I'll say things, don't play me, just kiss me, babe

[Verse 2]
I could tell a lie, blame tonight, too many drinks
So many reasons that, some things are better left unsaid

[Pre-Chorus]
And I swore that I would never say
"I miss you more every day"
But some things are bettper left unsaid
Are better left unsaid, said, said...

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm gonna say things like, "Shut up and kiss me!"
Oh, tonight I'm gonna lose some face, don't blame me, just kiss me
If you wanna party, put your hands up
Put your hands up put your hands up
Don't blame me, just kiss me, oh
Tonight I'll say things, don't play me, just kiss me, babe
If you wanna party, put your hands up
Put your hands up put your hands up
Don't blame me, just kiss me, oh
Tonight I'll say things, don't play me, just kiss me, babe

[Post-Chorus]
If you wanna party, put your hands up
Put your hands up put your hands up
If you wanna party, put your hands up
Put your hands up put your hands up

[Outro]
You tell a lie, blame tonight
Too many drinks, so many reasons that some things are better left unsaid
