You Need To Calm Down/ Lover (VMAs 2019)

You are somebody that I don't know
But you're takin' shots at me like it's Patrón
And I'm just like, damn, it's 7 AM
Say it in the street, that's a knock-out
But you say it in a Tweet, that's a cop-out
And I'm just like, "Hey, are you okay? "

And I ain't tryna 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

You need to calm down, you're being too loud
And I'm just like uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh
You need to just stop, like can you just not step on my gown?
You need to calm down

You are somebody that we don't know
But you're comin' at my friends like a missile
Why are you mad when you could be GLAAD?
(You could be GLAAD)
Sunshine on the street at the parade
But you would rather be in the dark ages
Makin' that sign must've taken all night

You just need to take several seats
And then try to restore the peace
And control your urges to scream about the people you hate
'Cause shade never made anybody less gay

You need to calm down, you're being too loud
And I'm just like uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh
You need to just stop, like can you just not step on his gown?
You need to calm down

And we see you over there on the internet
Comparing all the girls who are killing it
But we figured you out
We all know now we all got crowns
You need to calm down

You need to calm down (You need to calm down)
You're being too loud (You're being too loud)
And I'm like uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh
You need to just stop (Can you stop?)
Like can you just not step on our gowns?
You need to calm down

We could leave the Christmas lights up 'til January
This is our place, we make the rules
And there's a dazzling haze
A mysterious way about you dear
Have I known you 20 seconds or 20 years?

Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out, and take me home
You're my, my, my, my lover

We could let our friends crash in the living room
This is our place, we make the call
And I'm highly suspicious
that everyone who sees you wants you
I've loved you three summers now, honey
But I want 'em all

Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out, and take me home
(Forever and ever)
You're my, my, my, my lover

Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand?
With every guitar string scar on my hand
I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover
My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue
All's well that ends well to end up with you
Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover
And you'll save all your dirtiest jokes for me
And at every table, I'll save you a seat, lover

Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out, and take me home
(Forever and ever)
You're my, my, my, my
Oh, you're my, my, my, my
Darling, you're my, my, my, my lover
