[Verse 1]
You are somebody that I don't know
But you're taking shots at me like it's Patron
And I'm just like damn, it's 7am
Say it on the street, that's a knockout
But you say it in a tweet, that's a copout
And I'm just like hey, you okay?
[Pre-Chorus]
And I ain't trying to mess with your self-expression
But I've learned a lesson
That stressin' and obsessin' 'bout somebody else is no fun
And snakes and stones never broke my bones, so
[Chorus]
(Ooooh) Ooooh
You need to calm down (You need to calm down)
You're being too loud (You're being too loud)
And I'm just like
(Ooooh) Ooooh
You need to just stop (You need to just stop)
Like can you just not
Step on my gown
You need to calm down
[Verse 2]
You are somebody that we don't know
But you're coming at my friends like a missile
Why are you mad when you could be GLAAD?
Sunshine on the street at the parade
But you would rather be in the dark ages
Making that sign must've taken all night (Aaaah)
[Pre-Chorus]
You just need to take several seats and try to restore the peace
And control your urges to scream about the people you hate
'Cause shade never made anybody less gay
[Chorus]
(Ooooh) Ooooh
You need to calm down (You need to calm down)
You're being too loud (You're being too loud)
And I'm just like
(Ooooh) Ooooh
You need to just stop (You need to just stop)
Like can you just not
Step on his gown
You need to calm down
[Bridge]
And we see you over there on the Internet
Comparin' all the girls who are killin' it
We figured you out
We all know now, we all got crowns
You need to calm down
[Chorus]
You need to calm down
You're being too loud
And I'm just like
(Ooooh) Ooooh
You need to just stop (You need to just stop)
Like can you just not
Step on our gowns
You need to calm down
