Chords.

You are somebody that I don’t know

but you’re takin’ shots at me like it’s a sport

and I’m just like “man… it’s 7 a.m.”

Say it in the street, that’s a knock-out,

but you say it in a tweet, that’s a cop-out,

and I’m just like, “hey… are you okay?”

And I ain’t tryin’ to mess with your self-expression

but I’ve learned the lesson that stressin’

and obsessin’ ’bout somebody else is no fun…

And snakes and stones never broke my bones

so, oh-oh (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

you need to calm down… you’re bein’ too loud.

And I’m just like oh-oh, (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)

you need to just stop… like can you just not

step on my gown? You need to calm down.

You are somebody that we don’t know

but you’re comin’ at my friends with your insults,

why are you mad… when you could be glad? (you could be glad)

Sunshine on the street at the parade

but you would rather be in the dark ages

makin’ that sign… must’ve taken all night.

You just need to take several seats and then try to restore the peace

and control your urges to scream about all the people you hate…

Cuz shade never made anybody less fake

so, oh-oh (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

you need to calm down… you’re bein’ too loud.

And I’m just like oh-oh, (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)

you need to just stop… like can you just not

step on this gown? You need to calm down.

And we see you… over there… on the internet,

comparin’… all the girls… who are crushin’ it.

But we figured you out… we all know now,

we all got crowns – you need to calm down.

Oh-oh (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

you need to calm down, (you need to calm down)

you’re bein’ too loud. (you’re being too loud)

And I’m just like oh-oh, (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)

you need to just stop, (can you stop?)

like can you just not… step on our gowns?

You need to calm down.
