Loud

Somewhere along the way, my dear You've made an awful error You oughtn't blame yourself now Come along You seem to think that people Like people, what are clever It's very quaint, it's very sweet But wrong People don't like smarty pants What go 'round claiming That they know stuff We don't know Now, here's a tip What you know matters less Than the volume with which What you don't know's expressed Content has never been less important So you have got to be Loud! (Loud, loud, loud) Girl, you've got to learn to stand out And stick out from the crowd (crowd, crowd, crowd) A little less flat A lot more heel A little less fact A lot more feel A little less brains A lot more hair A little less head A lot more derrière No one's going to tell you when to shake your tush well You've got a light, don't hide it under a bushel No one's going to look if you don't stand out No one's going to listen if you don't shout No one's going to care if you don't care So go and put some highlights in your hair 'Cause you've gotta highlight what you've got Even if what you've got is not a lot You've gotta be loud (loud, loud, loud) You've gotta give yourself a mission to shine To stand out from the crowd (crowd, crowd, crowd) A little less bzz A lot more zing A little less pshh A lot more schwang A little less dressing like your Mum A little more bum-ba-bum-bum ba-da-bum Oh, I look nice You don't No one's going to tell you when to wiggle your bum-ba No one's going to love you if you don't know the rhumba Everybody loves a little something exotic But learning a language is over the top It doesn't really matter if you don't know much So long as you don't know it with the volume up The less you have to sell, the harder you sell it The less you have to say, the louder you yell it The dumber the act, the bigger the confession The less you have to show, the larger you dress it You gotta get up You gotta get up and be loud! (Loud, loud, loud) You've got to be loud! (Loud, loud, loud) Stand out from the crowd! (Crowd, crowd, crowd) Or you're nothing You've got to be loud! (Loud, loud, loud) Are you listening? You've got to be proud (proud, proud, proud) Think you're clever? Whatever Loud, loud, loud, loud Loud, loud, loud, loud... You've got to be loud!
