Don't wanna be at home alone tonight

Ladies take your hair down
Put your drinks on the ground
Just get on the floor & lose your mind

It's so easy
To rock it all night (bartender)

It's so easy
It's so right (bartender)
It's so easy (come on)
To rock it all night (oh)

If you came to break us down 
Your headin' for the door (bartender)
Don't try to act like 
You're too good for the floor (bartender)

If you came to break us down 
Your headin' for the door (bartender)
Don't try to act like 
You're too good for the floor (oh)

Mr. Bartender
I've had a bad day
Gimme a shot
I got fired today
I Just wanna burn the night away

Gonna stay til a quarter of 4
Cause I don't have to be at work no more
Just wanna turn the night to day
(It's so easy, easy)
(It's so easy, easy)

It's so easy
It's so right (bartender)
It's so easy
To rock it all night

It's so easy
It's so right (bartender)
It's so easy
To rock it all night (oh)

One for the money 
One two for the show
Kick back & lay back 
Watch the inner flow
(It's so easy)

5 o'clock the bars cut me lose
I'm up in the club
The gin & the juice
Got you freaks & blondes
One chick behind
I spilled all my liquor
We going outta mind
Almost outta time
Get down bump & grind
DJ stop rewind
Lemme pour you some wine
So you can break it on down
Let's do it like this til the next time

We're gonna do it like this
Do it like that
Do it like this
Nah we ain't gonna do it like that
Do it like that
Everybody jam across the land

Do it like this
Do it like that
Do it like this
Nah we ain't gonna do it like that
Do it like that
We can do it like this
From the front to the back

If you came to break us down 
Your headin' for the door (bartender)
Don't try to act like 
You're too good for the floor

If you came to break us down 
Your headin' for the door 
Don't try to act like 
You're too good for the floor (oh)

Like I said once before 
Everybody throw your hands from side to side
Like this no no your not doin' right 
Over here look look look

It's so easy (it's so what?)
It's so right (bartender)
It's so easy (what what)
To rock it all night (everybody now)

It's so easy (it's so what?)
It's so right (bartender)
It's so easy (come on)
To rock it all night (oh)

toodootoodootoo...

Sugar Ray

Sugar Ray is an American band formed in 1986. The band, starting off more as an funk metal band, first gained fame in 1997 with their release of the song "Fly". This song's success, coupled with its pop rock sound that was quite different from the rest of their material at the time, led the band to change to a mainstream, pop music style. Subsequent albums shared this similar style, and the band landed a number of hits with "Every Morning", "Someday", and "When It's Over". more »
