Lyrics for Ridin’ Solo
Song by Jason Derulo
[Intro]
Mmm, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah[Chorus]
I’m feeling like a star, you can’t stop my shine
I’m loving cloud nine, my head’s in the sky
I’m solo, I’m riding solo
I’m riding solo, I’m riding solo, solo[Verse 1]
Yeah, I’m feeling good tonight
Finally doing me and it feels so right, oh
Time to do the things I like
Going to the club, everything’s alright, oh
No one to answer to
No one that’s gon’ argue, no
And since I got the hold off me
I’m living life now that I’m free, yeah[Pre-Chorus]
Told me get my s*** together
Now I got my s*** together, yeah, yeah
Now I made it through the weather
Better days are gon’ get better
I’m so sorry that it didn’t work out (Didn’t work out)
I’m moving on
I’m so sorry but it’s over now (Over now)
The pain is gone[Chorus]
I’m putting on my shades to cover up my eyes
I’m jumping in my ride, I’m heading out tonight
I’m solo, I’m riding solo
I’m riding solo, I’m riding solo, solo
I’m feeling like a star, you can’t stop my shine
I’m loving cloud nine, my head’s in the sky
I’m solo, I’m riding solo
I’m riding solo, I’m riding solo, solo[Verse 2]
Yeah, now I’m feeling how I should
Never knew single could feel this good (This good), oh
Star player, misunderstood
Back in the game, who knew I would (I would), oh
So fly how I spread my wings
Loving myself makes me wanna sing (Sing), oh
Oh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, oh)[Pre-Chorus]
Told me get my shit together
Now I got my shit together, yeah, yeah
Now I made it through the weather
Better days are gon’ get better
I’m so sorry (Sorry) that it didn’t work out (Didn’t work out)
I’m moving on
I’m so sorry (Sorry) but it’s over now (Over now)
The pain is gone
[Chorus]
I’m putting on my shades to cover up my eyes (My eyes)
I’m jumping in my ride, I’m heading out tonight
I’m solo (Solo), I’m riding solo (Solo)
I’m riding solo (Solo), I’m riding solo, solo
I’m feeling like a star, you can’t stop my shine
I’m loving cloud nine, my head’s in the sky
I’m solo, I’m riding solo
I’m riding solo, I’m riding solo, solo[Bridge]
Riding solo
Solo, I’m riding solo
Solo, solo
Yeah, solo, solo
It’s like S-O-L-O (Oh)
S-O-L-O (Oh, el, oh) , S-O-L-O (Oh, oh)
Living my life, ain’t got stress no mo’[Chorus]
I’m putting on my shades to cover up my eyes (Oh)
I’m jumping in my ride, I’m heading out tonight
I’m solo, I’m riding solo
I’m riding solo, I’m riding solo, solo
I’m feeling like a star, you can’t stop my shine (Oh, oh)
I’m loving cloud nine, my head’s in the sky (Yeah)
I’m solo, I’m riding solo
I’m riding solo, I’m riding solo, solo
I’m riding, I’m riding solo, solo, woah
I’m riding solo, solo
