Hip To Be Square - Huey Lewis & The News

I used to be a renegade, I used to fool around

But I couldn’t take the punishment and had to settle down

Now I’m playin' it real straight and yes I cut my hair

You might think I’m crazy but I don’t even care

'Cause I can tell what’s goin' on

It’s hip to be square

It’s hip to be square

I like my bands in business suits, I watch them on TV

I’m workin' out most everyday and watchin' what I eat

They tell me that it’s good for me but I don’t even care

I know that it’s crazy, I know that it’s nowhere

There is no denyin' that

It’s hip to be square

It’s hip to be square

It’s hip to be square

So hip to be square

It’s not too hard to figure out, you see it everyday

And those that were the farthest out have gone the other way

You see them on the freeway, it don’t look like a lot of fun

But don’t you try to fight it, an idea who’s time has come

Don’t tell me that I’m crazy, don’t tell me I’m nowhere

Take it from me

It’s hip to be square

It’s hip to be square

It’s hip to be square

So hip to be square

Turn on boy
