Lyrics

[Verse 1]
About ten decisions shape your life
You'll be aware of five about
Seven ways to go through school
Either you're noticed or left out
Seven ways to get ahead
Seven reasons to drop out
[Verse 2]
When I said, I can see me in your eyes
You said, I can see you in my pants
That's not just friendship, that's romance, too
You like music we can dance to
[Verse 3]
Sit me down
Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I'll get along with you
[Verse 4]
There is a time when we all fail
Some people take it pretty well
Some take it all out on themselves
Others they just take it out on friends
Oh, everybody plays the game
And if you don't you're called insane
Don't, don't, don't, don't, it's not safe no more
I've got to see you one more time
That's when you were born
In 1984
[Verse 5]
Sit me down
Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I'll get along with you
[Verse 6]
Everybody was well dressed
And everybody was a mess
Sixteen things without fail you must do
So that your woman loves just you
And all the girls play mental games
And all the guys are dressed the same
So why not try it all?
If you only remember it once
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 7]
Sit me down
Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I'll get along with you
Yup
