Lyrics
0:14I used to be a renegade
0:18I used to fool around
0:22But I couldn't take the punishment
0:25And had to settle down
0:28Now I'm playing it real straight
0:31And yes I cut my hair
0:35You might think I'm crazy
0:36But I don't even care
0:38Because I can tell what's going on
0:41It's hip to be square
0:44It's hip to be square
0:48I like my bands in business suits
0:52I watch them on TV
0:55I'm working out most every day and
0:59Watching what I eat
1:02They tell me that it's good for me
1:05But I don't even care
1:09I know that it's crazy
1:10I know that it's nowhere
1:12But there is no denying that
1:15It's hip to be square
1:18It's hip to be square
1:21It's hip to be square
1:25So hip to be square
2:10It's not too hard to figure out
2:14You see it every day
2:17And those that were the farthest out
2:20Have gone the other way
2:24You see them on the freeway
2:27It don't look like a lot of fun
2:30But don't you try to fight it
2:33An idea whose time has come
2:39Don't tell me that I'm crazy
2:40Don't tell me I'm nowhere
2:42Take it from me
2:44It's hip to be square
2:48It's hip to be square
2:51It's hip to be square
2:55So hip to be square
2:57Tell 'em boys
2:59Here there and everywhere
3:03Hip hip so hip to be a square
3:06Here there and everywhere
3:09Hip hip
3:13Here there and everywhere
3:16Hip hip so hip to be a square
3:19Here there and everywhere
3:23Hip hip
3:26Here there and everywhere
3:30Hip hip so hip to be a square
3:33Here there and everywhere
3:36Hip hip
3:40Here there and everywhere
3:43Hip hip so hip to be a square
3:47Here there and everywhere
3:50Hip hip
