[Verse 1]
Ten decisions shape your life
You'll be aware of five about
Seven ways to go through school
Either you noticed or left out
Seven ways to get ahead
Seven reasons to drop out
When I said "I can see me in your eyes"
And you said "I can see you in my bed"
That's not just friendship, that's romance too
You like music we can dance to

[Chorus]
Sit me down
Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I'll get along with you

[Verse 2]
There comes a time when we all fail
Some people take it pretty well
Some take it all out on themselves
Some they just take it out on friends
Oh, everybody plays the game
And if you don't, you're called insane
Though, though, though, though you're not safe no more
Gotta see you one more time
Say you were born in 1984
[Chorus]
Sit me down
Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I'll get along with you

[Bridge]
Everybody was well dressed
And everybody was a mess
Six things without fail you must do
So that your woman loves just you
Oh, all the girls play mental games
And all the boys they dress the same
Why not try it all?
If you only remember it once
Whooaaaaa
Whooaaaaa

[Chorus]
Sit me down
Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I'll get along with you
