Greatdayndamornin’/Booty Lyrics

Part 1: Greatdayndamornin'

[Intro]
Oh-woah
Oh-woah
Oh-oh-oh, oh
Yeah, yeah
Yeah
Oh
Woah
Yeah

[Verse 1]
Today, I played it safe
Cards are in my favor, yeah (Huh)
Can't leave too much to chance
Woke up with time to waver
(Yesterday was crazy)
Yesterday was crazy
Mysteries I know now
Now I know the ins and outs of things
From day to day, that's how it goes (Yeah, that's just how it goes)
Don't get confused about it (Oh)
Just try to do your thing
'Cause in the end
Got to know just how to play the game (Play the game)
I search for answers often
I paid the price for many (Oh)
Still long for happiness (Happiness, yeah)
Not promised to the plenty
But I've got to go on
[Chorus]
Good days, bad days (Bad days), halfway days (Oh)
Good times, bad times (Yeah, yeah), halfway times (Yeah)
(What about them, huh?)
Good days, bad days (Hey), halfway days (Oh)
But I'm still looking (Yeah) for a great day in the morning (Huh)
(Aight, gon' turn the bass up)

[Interlude]
Yeah, yeah
Ooh
Woah-woah

[Verse 2]
Today might be the day (Oh)
I get it in the pocket (Yeah)
But Lord knows if there's an angle
Got to try to find it, got to get over (Huh)
Before the sun comes up
Just in case of an emergency (Gotta tighen)
Got to tighten up, but here it goes (Oh)

[Chorus]
Good days, bad days (Yeah), halfway days (Oh, yeah)
Good times (Yeah), bad times (Goin' on 'round and 'round, babe), halfway times (Yeah)
Good days (Hey, hey, baby), bad days, halfway days
But I'm still looking for a great day in the morning (Still lookin' for my great day in the morning, yeah, yeah)
Oh
[Verse 3]
I said today could really be the day (Yeah)
Said it can go wrong or right, alright, baby (Huh)
My body could melt good night (Huh, oh-oh-oh)
Don't you let them switch you, baby (Yeah)
Said the most crazy mystery (Oh-oh)
Ins and outs of things (Outs of things), day to day (Day to day)
How they supposed to flow? (Flow) Flow (Yeah)

[Chorus]
Good days (Bad), bad days, halfway days (Oh, woah)
Good times, bad times (Huh), halfway times (Oh)
(I said don't leave)
Good days, bad days (Yeah), halfway days
But I'm still looking for a great day in the morning (Looking for a great thing in the morning)

[Interlude]
Baby, uh-uh
Oh
Oh-oh-oh (Yeah)
Oh-oh

[Verse 4]
I know it gets hard (Yeah, yeah)
I know it gets hard sometimes (Yeah, oh)
Gather the people (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Said I got it all in my spirit (All, mm)
And I know this morning when I rose
(Good days, bad days, good times, bad times)
Gonna be, got to be crazy, crazy
(Good days, bad days, good times, bad times)
[Chorus]
Good days, bad days (Mm), halfway days
(Said don't you know tomorrow's sun)
Good times, bad times, halfway times
(Will be shining on your face)
Good days, bad days, halfway days (Sid I'm lookin')
But I'm still looking for a great day in the morning (Said I'm lookin' for a great day in the morning, the morning, babe)
Good days, bad days, halfway days (Yeah, oh, every morning)
Good times, bad times (Yeah, yeah) halfway times (In the morning)
Good days, bad days (Yeah, yeah), halfway days
But I'm still looking for a great day in the morning (In the morning, yeah, yeah)
(Oh-oh-oh)
Good days, bad days, halfway days (In the morning)
Good times, bad times (Oh), halfway times (Oh-oh)
Good days, bad days (Baby), halfway days (Said I'm lookin')
But I'm still looking for a great day in the morning (Looking for a great thing)

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
