LYRICS

It’s time for me to unwind
I’m gonna start my weekend with gin tonic and lime.
My girls take me for a ride , ready to party and looking so fine.
I wonder if beyond this , there could be something better.
Cause I feel so good tonight, don’t wanna end this night.

Chorus

The Balkan girls they like to party like nobody , like nobody,
For crowd delight , we’ll shine all night.
The Balkan girls they like to party like nobody , like nobody,
For crowd delight , we’ll shine all night.

My hips are ready to glow,
This record is so hot and I have so much to show.
I’ll find a boy for a kiss.
Who knows maybe he’ll be my prince.

I wonder if beyond this , there could be something better.
Cause I feel so good tonight, don’t wanna end this night.

Chorus

The Balkan girls they like to party like nobody , like nobody,
For crowd delight , we’ll shine all night.
The Balkan girls they like to party like nobody , like nobody,
For crowd delight , we’ll shine all night.

(You got to live your life)
If you didn’t find out what love is about.
And if you’re lonely baby.
Just open your mind , you’re one of a kind,
You got to live your life.

Chorus

The Balkan girls they like to party like nobody , like nobody,
For crowd delight , we’ll shine all night.
The Balkan girls they like to party like nobody , like nobody,
We’ll shine all night.
