Lyrics[]

Red cups and sweaty bodies everywhere
Hands in the air like we don't care
'cause we came to have so much fun now
Bet somebody here might get some now

If you're not ready to go home
Can I get a "hell, no!"? (hell no)
'cause we're gonna go all night
'til we see the sunlight, alright

So la da di da di
We like to party
Dancing with Miley
Doing whatever we want
This is our house
This is our rules

And we can't stop
And we won't stop
Can't you see it's we who own the night?
Can't you see it's we who 'bout that life?

And we can't stop
And we won't stop
We run things, things don't run we
Don't take nothing from nobody
Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

It's our party we can do what we want
It's our party we can say what we want
It's our party we can love who we want
We can kiss who we want
We can sing what we want

To my home girls here with the big butt
Shaking it like we’re in a strip club
Remember only dad can judge ya
Forget the haters 'cause somebody loves ya
And everyone in line in the bathroom
Queuing up to get into the bathroom
We all so turned up here
Getting turned up, yeah, yeah

So la da di da di
We like to party
Dancing with Miley
Doing whatever we want
This is our house
This is our rules

And we can't stop
And we won't stop
Can't you see it's we who own the night?
Can't you see it's we who 'bout that life?

And we can't stop
And we won't stop
We run things, things don't run we
Don't take nothing from nobody
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Oh, oh

Don’t break his heart, his achy breaky heart
I just don’t think he’ll understand
Oh-oh-oh

Don’t break his heart, his achy breaky heart
I just don’t think he’ll understand
Oh oh oh

Don’t break his heart, his achy breaky heart
I just don’t think he’ll understand
Oh oh oh

Don’t break his heart, his achy breaky heart
I just don’t think he’ll understand

And she can't stop, yeah
And she won't stop, oh
Can't you see it's she who own the night?
Can't you see it's she who 'bout that life?

And she can't stop
And she won't stop
She run things, things don't run she
Don't take nothing from nobody
Yeah, yeah
