Peer Pressure

Your mouth is dry, hands are wet
Your stomach's tied in knots
Your mind is like a battlefield
Your nerves are shot
Your heartbeat pounds like a big bass drum
How long can you hold out?

Talking 'bout peer pressure
About to get the best of you
You're coming under peer pressure
You might do something
You don't want to do

"Who is in, who is out
Forget the right or wrong"
You feel the heat of conformity
Beggin' you to go along
You want to stand up for yourself
But you're more afraid of standing out

Coming under peer pressure
About to get the best of you
Don't give in to peer pressure
You might do something
You don't want to do

Now, try to remember
Right from the start
(Yeah, yeah)
Do what gets lost in the squeeze
Is who you really are
You keep givin' in the easier it gets
Soon there'll be nothing left of you
You better watch out!

You want to stand up for yourself
But you're more afraid of standing out

I'm talking 'bout peer pressure
Don't let it get the best of you
Don't give in to peer pressure, baby
Don't do what you really don't want to do

Coming under peer pressure
Don't let it get the best of you
Talking 'bout peer pressure
You might do something
You don't really want to do

Now listen to me, now
I know how hard it can be
To try to stand against the crowd
But don't forget
It's your self-respect we're talkin' about
'Cause when it's all been said and done
Your friends have gone and you're all alone
There's just one thing that really matters
How much are you worth anyhow?! Whoo!

Coming under peer pressure
You can't say no if you want to, yeah
Don't, don't, don't, don't

Peer pressure
Don't let it get the best of you
Don't give in to peer pressure
You know what I'm talkin' about

Here, try this!
(No! No way! Uh-uh!)
