[Pre-Chorus: Blaine and New Directions]
I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
You got to be startin' somethin'
I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
You got to be startin' somethin'

[Chorus: Blaine, New Directions]
Too high to get over (Yeah, yeah)
You're too low to get under (Yeah, yeah)
You're stuck in the middle (Yeah, yeah)
And the pain is thunder (Yeah, yeah)
Too high to get over (Yeah, yeah)
You're too low to get under (Yeah, yeah)
You're stuck in the middle (Yeah, yeah)
And the pain is thunder (Yeah, yeah)

[Verse 1: Blaine, New Directions, Blaine and New Directions]
I took my baby to the doctor
With a fever but nothing he found
By the time this hit the street
They said she had a breakdown!
(Ahh) Someone's always trying
(Ahh) To start my baby crying
(Ahh) Talkin', squealin', lyin'
Sayin' You just wanna be startin' somethin'
[Pre-Chorus: Blaine and New Directions]
I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
But you got to be startin' somethin'
I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
But you got to be startin' somethin'

[Chorus: Blaine, New Directions, New Directions Girls]
Too high to get over (Yeah, yeah)
You're too low to get under (Yeah, yeah)
You're stuck in the middle (Yeah, yeah)
And the pain is thunder (Na-na-na, na-na-na-na) (Yeah, yeah)
Too high to get over (Yeah, yeah)
You're too low to get under (Yeah, yeah)
You're stuck in the middle (Yeah, yeah)
And the pain is thunder (Na-na-na, na-nana-na) (Yeah, yeah)

[Post-Chorus: Blaine, New Directions]
You're a vegetable (You're a vegetable)
You're a vegetable (You're a vegetable)
Still they hate you (Still they hate you)
You're a vegetable (You're a vegetable)
You're just a buffet (You're just a buffet)
You're a vegetable (You're a vegetable)
They eat off of you (They eat off of you)
You're a vegetable, ow! (You're a vegetable)
(Yee-haw!)
[Bridge: Blaine and New Directions, Blaine]
Lift your head up high
And scream out to the world
"I know I am someone"
And let the truth unfurl
No one can hurt you now
Because you know it's true
Yes, I believe in me
So you believe in you
Help me sing it!
