- Meaning
[Intro]
We don't care about the party
We just wanna dance
We don't care about the party
We j—
(Ah)
[Verse 1]
If you see me spinnin', I'm alright
I've been chasin', living my whole life
It is comin’, feel it in the night
Every day, you know I had to fight
Different images swimmin' in my head
Different women sleepin' in my bed
I'ma get to sleepin' when I'm dead
Best believe in every word I said
(We don't care about the party)
(We just wanna dance)
(We don't care about the party)
(We just wanna dance)
[Chorus]
All my life
I had to try to survive
But it is all right now
We found a place
A place where love goes
(Place where love goes)
(We don't care about the party)
(We just wanna dance)
(We don't care about the party)
(Place where love goes)
(We just wanna dance)
[Verse 2]
It's a jungle, you ain't ever safe
Seen a lion turn into a snake
I can hear the screamin' when I wake
Pray the Lord, my soul he ever take
Pray the Lord until it is my turn
Let it happen, watchin' life unfurl
When I'm layin' quiet with my girl
We the only people in the world
[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh
All my life
I had to try to survive
But it is all right now
We found a place
A place where love goes
[Bridge]
(Place where love goes)
(We don't care about the party)
(We just wanna dance)
(We don't care about the party)
(Place where love goes)
(—dance)
(Place where love goes)
(We just wanna dance)
(Place where love goes)
[Chorus]
All my life
I had to try to survive
But it is all right now
We found a place
A place where love goes
All my life (All my life)
Try to survive (At night, I tried)
All right now (Woo-ooh)
We found a place (Woo-ooh)
A place where love goes
