Verse 1

I said it low, you heard it loud

Raised your voice, drew a crowd

Don’t make this theatric—

there’s no applause for what you’ve caused

Settle down, dear, settle down—

don’t embarrass yourself now

all this effort, all this show—

for a point I already know

Pre-Chorus 1

Let’s not make a spectacle

Of something quite forgettable

You insist it matters now

I just wonder why and how

Take a drink,

Take another drink,

Let it blur, let it sink—

Forget everything

Chorus

’Cause tonight — oh tonight

We’re having a good time.

’Cause tonight — oh tonight

We let go of wrong and right

Just to feel like we’re fine

(We're having a good time)

(We're having a good time)

Verse 2

So faded, didn’t hear a word

Said it low—it went unheard

In this state, in this haze...

I almost like who we've become

inebriation does you favors

Softens all your sharp behavior

Makes you easier to hold—

warmer than you are when cold

Pre-Chorus 2

Get caught on candid camera

Looking better than we are

Frozen in this moment

We look like we get along

Get caught on candid camera

Looking better than we are

Frozen in a perfect moment

Like we never fell apart

Chorus

’Cause tonight — oh tonight

We’re having a good time.

’Cause tonight — oh tonight

We let go of wrong and right

Just to feel like we’re fine

(We're having a good time)

(We're having a good time)

Oh, we ache so elegantly

In this cheap catastrophe

Make it look like we believe

In a version we can’t keep

Lovers posing, playing pretend

Smiling like we’re settling in

Like the night can make amends—

for the state we’re really in

We laugh and we drink on borrowed time

But we’re having a good time, yeah

We’re having a good time

I’m having a good time

I’m having a good time

I’m having a good time

…I’m having a good time
