[Verse 1]
Where did the quirky go?
It's all hopeless in love, all Bridget Jones
All dancing around in pretty clothes
And singing along to heartfelt love songs
Where did the funny go?
It’s all polaroids and "strike a pose"
Need someone else to make you glow?
Can't help yourself when they get you low?
What happened to au naturel?
We hurt ourselves to boost morale
Oh tell me, where's the rationale in this
Collagen and waxing battle royale?
Mmm ... Where’s the rationale?

[Chorus]
So be a freak!
No, I don't mean cute freak
You gotta dot the I's and cross the T's
On everything that makes you unique
It's not about looking pretty
It's not about looking effortless yet gorgeous
So put your hair wherever it wants to go
Wear the brightest clothes and the sun will follow you home
Follow you home
[Verse 3]
Where did the safety go?
It's all "Stay indoors when the lights get low
Oh watch yourself and watch your clothes
Who could be out there? Heaven knows!"
And somehow in their line of thought
It is the girls who should be taught the self-control
And speed of thought to stay alert so they don't get caught
So they don’t get caught

[Chorus]
So be a freak!
No, I don’t mean cute freak
You gotta dot the I's and cross the T’s
On everything that makes you unique
It's not about looking pretty
It's not about looking effortless yet gorgeous
So put your hair wherever it wants to go
Wear the brightest clothes and the sun will follow you home
Follow you home


(It doesn't matter who you are
What you are, where you live:
Just have fun! Dance! Do it!
Be a freak!)
Just be a freak! Just for the day
(You’ll have more fun)
You will have more fun anyway
Just be a freak! Just for the day
You will have more fun anyway
Just be a freak! Just for the day
You will have more fun more fun
[Chorus]
So be a freak!
No, I don't mean cute freak
You gotta dot the I's and cross the T's
On everything that makes you unique
It's not about looking pretty
It's not about looking effortless yet gorgeous
So put your hair wherever it wants to go
Wear the brightest clothes and the sun will follow you home
Follow you home

So be a freak!
No, I don't mean cute freak
You gotta dot the I's and cross the T's
On everything that makes you unique
It's not about looking pretty
It's not about looking effortless yet gorgeous
So put your hair wherever it wants to go
Wear the brightest clothes and the sun will follow you home
Follow you home
