VERSE 1
It drives you crazy.
You find yourself spacing out
Just thinking about it.
Over and over and over again,
It plays in your mind.
Oh, it’s inside your mind.
You start to think you’ll never be able to leave it behind.
You shouldn’t have listened.
You knew what could happen.
But it’s just so stupid. 
And you’re not into it.
So why can’t you stop
That finger tappin’?

Cuz

CHORUS
Those lyrics
Make no sense.
But that music
Is intense
And that dumb chorus line 
Just played so many times
That now you can’t forget it.
You start to regret it.
Though you’re humming the stuff,
You’ve really had enough.
But every sentence
Is on repeat.
And you know you just can’t compete.
So you let it take you over instead.
That song you’ve got stuck in your head.
In your head.
That song you’ve got stuck

VERSE 2
It’s been several hours.
Still you can’t fight the power
Of that beat.
So sweet.
You cannot retreat.
You’re out of luck, let the words run amuck
Through your poor tortured mind.
Oh, your poor tortured mind.
It’s music’s destiny to eventually brainwash mankind.
You know I’m not wrong,
Even the lamest song
Before way too long
Can have you singing along
To its every word.
No matter how absurd.

When

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Here we go-oooh-oh.
Oooooh!
Again, and again, and again, and again.
Does it ever end?
Does it ever end?
Again, and again, and again, and again, and again.
Even when lyrics make no sense.
Cuz music is intense.

And
That dumb chorus line just played so many times
That now you can’t forget it.
You start to regret it.
Though you’re humming the stuff,
You’ve really had enough.
But every sentence
Is on repeat.
And you know you just can’t compete.
So let it take you over instead.
Come one, get this song stuck in your head.
Oh, it’s in your head.
Think I’ve got my song stuck

In your head.
