Huey Lewis amp The News - Hip To Be Square LYRICS

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 playing it real straight, and yes I cut my hair

You might think I'm crazy, but I don't even care

Because I can tell what's going on

It's hip to be square



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

I'm working out most everyday and watching what I eat

They tell me that it's good for me, but I don't even car

I know that it's crazy

I know that it's nowhere

But there is no denying that

It's 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
