D
You are somebody that I don't know
But you're takin' shots at me like it's Patrón
                    G
And I'm just like "Damn, it's 7 a.m."

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?"

    D
And I ain't tryna mess with your self-expression
but I've learned the lesson
That stressin' and obsessin'
                           G
'bout somebody else is no fun
      A
And snakes and stones never broke my bones

Chorus:
   D
So oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
                  G
You need to calm down, you're being too loud
                  D
And I'm just like oh-oh,
oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
                   G
You need to just stop,
like can you just not step on my gown?
                  D
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 glad?
(You could be glad)
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
all the people you hate
'Cause shade never made anybody less gay

Chorus

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

Chorus:
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
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 oh-oh,
oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (Oh)
You need to just stop (Can you stop?)
Like can you just not step on our gowns?
You need to calm down
