The party don't start
Not without me
Not without me

The party don't start
Not without me


Been waiting for the week to end
Friday's here, let the party begin
Dance tonight uh yeah

Settle for a house party
Call my homies, set it off my way
Let the music play


Whether it's your birthday
Bat Mitzvah holiday celebrate

Summertime, wintertime
Party time, celebrate
Throw your hands in the air

Wave them till you just don't care
I'm about to make it hot
That is when the party starts


The party don't start without me
No no no, it just won't go no no no

The party don't start without me
No no no, it just won't go


Make your party entrance strong
Come and get your Diddy on
The party don't start without me

No no no, it just won't go

Don't matter if you're home

In the club, New York or Rome
Everybody dance
No worries you can't move

Two step across the room
Your swagga will enhance


Party, from the young till the old
Party, to the meek to the bold
Party, London to Tokyo

Party, Paris back at home

Throw your hands in the air

And wave them till you just don't care
I'm about to make it hot
That is when the party starts


The party don't start without me
No no no, it just won't go no no no

The party don't start without me
No no no, it just won't go


Make your party entrance strong
Come and get your Diddy on
The party don't start without me

No no no, it just won't go no no no

Life of the party just stepped in the door

Oooh I'm getting down on the floor
I got my party goes on
Looking fresh, looking fine

Every boy trying to get in line
The party is poppin' when I step up in the place
I'm making it rain with this rubber band banks

Everybody's going in with the douggie
This dude walks on me trying to get all huggy
Uhhh you better fall back

I'm sorry look I don't get down like that
The bass is pumping and I can't stop moving
Everybody stand back cause I'm about to blow

Ho ho check out my flow
All 'em other suckers better step off the floor
Yep Claire said it's time to hit the door

I'm here at the party, 'bout to take off for Sho

The party don't start without me
No no no, it just won't go no no no
The party don't start without me

No no no, it just won't go

Make your party entrance strong
Come and get your Diddy on
The party don't start without me

No no no, it just won't go no no no

The party don't start
Not without me
