Huey Lewis And 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 a square [2x]

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 m
But I don't even care
I know that it's crazy
I know that it's nowhere
But there is no denying that

It's hip to be a square [3x]
So hip to be a 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 a square [3x]
So hip to be a square

Here, There, and everywhere!
Hip, hip, so hip to be a square!
Here, There, and everywhere!
Hip, hip
[4x]
