[Intro]
Boo boo boo boo boo when you want to
Shine it on
(I boo boo boo when I want to)
[Verse 1]
They may not like the way you walk
They may not listen when you talk
But truthful toothless will understand
If what you're doin'
If what you're doin' is all you can
[Chorus]
Shine it on, shine it on
Shine it on, shine it on
Shine it on, shine it on
Ya ya ya ya, when you want to
[Verse 2]
Sometimes the pressure could feel like tons
But keep on stickin', stickin' to your guns
When you're tryin' to do your best
Don't you worry, worry, worry about the mess
[Chorus]
Shine it on, shine it on
Shine it on, shine it on
Shine it on, shine it on
Ya ya ya ya, when you want to
[Bridge]
We want to, we've got to
We want to shine it on
We want to, we've got to
We want to shine it on
We want to, we've got to
We want to shine it on
We want to, we've got to
We want to shine it on
[Verse 3]
One ounce of love is all they need
And a pound of care you give indeed
But when they notice only one gram
You can assume they don't give a damn
[Chorus]
Shine it on, shine it on
Shine it on, shine it on
Shine it on, shine it on
Ya ya ya ya, when you want to
[Bridge]
We want to, we've got to
We want to shine it on
We want to, we've got to
We want to shine it on
We want to, we've got to
We want to shine it on
We want to, we've got to
We want to shine it on
We want to, we've got to
We want to shine it on
We want to, we've got to
We want to shine it on
We want to, we've got to
We want to shine it on
We want to, we've got to
We want to shine it on
[Verse 4]
Sometimes the pressure could feel like tons
But keep on stickin' to your guns
When you're tryin', when you're tryin' to do your best
Don't you worry about the mess
Shine it on
[Chorus]
Shine it on, shine it on
Shine it on, shine it on
Shine it on, shine it on
Ya ya ya ya, when you want to
[Bridge]
We want to, we've got to
We want to shine it on
We want to, we've got to
We want to shine it on
We want to, we've got to
We want to shine it on
We want to, we've got to
We want to shine it on
We want to, we've got to
We want to shine it on
We want to, we've got to
We want to shine it on
We want to, we've got to
We want to shine it on
We want to, we've got to
We want to shine it on
We want to, we've got to
We want to shine it on
We want to, we've got to
We want to shine it on
We want to, we've got to
We want to shine it on
We want to, we've got to
We want to shine it on
