Lyrics

0:01I got a feelin' that you could be feelin'
0:05A whole lot better than you feel today
0:10You say you got a problem
0:12Well that's no problem
0:14It's super easy not to feel that way
0:19When you start to get confused
0:21Because of thoughts in your head
0:23Don't feel those feelings
0:26Hold them in instead
0:31Turn it off like a light switch
0:34Just go click
0:35It's a cool little Mormon trick
0:39We do it all the time
0:40When you're feeling certain feelings
0:42That just don't seem right
0:43Treat those pesky feelings
0:45Like a reading light
0:47And turn 'em off light a light switch
0:50Just go back
0:51Really what's so hard about that
0:54Turn it off turn it off
0:59When I was young my dad
1:00Would treat my mom real bad
1:02Every time the Utah Jazz would lose
1:05He'd start a drinkin' and I'd start a thinkin'
1:08How'm I gonna keep
1:09My mom from getting abused
1:12I'd see her all scared
1:14And my soul was dyin'
1:16My dad would say to me
1:18Now don't you dare start cryin'
1:24Turn it off like a light switch
1:26Just go flick
1:28It's our nifty little Mormon trick
1:31Turn it off turn it off
1:36My sister was a dancer but she got cancer
1:39The doctor said she still
1:40Had two months more
1:41I thought she had time so I got in line
1:44For the new iPhone at the Apple Store
1:48She lay there dying
1:50With my father and mother
1:52Her very last words were
1:55"Where is my brother "
2:00Turn it off
2:01(Yeah)
2:01Bid those sad feelings adieu
2:04The fear that I might get cancer too
2:12When I was in fifth grade
2:13I had a friend Steve Glade
2:16He and I were close as two friends could be
2:19One thing led to another
2:21And soon I would discover
2:23I was having really strange feelings for Steve
2:28I thought about us on a deserted island
2:32We'd swim naked in the
2:33Sea and then he'd try and whoa
2:40Turn it off like a light switch
2:43There it's gone
2:44(Good for you)
2:45My hetero side just won
2:48I'm all better now
2:50Boys should be with girls
2:51That's Heavenly Father's plan
2:53So if you ever feel
2:54You'd rather be with a man turn it off
2:56Well Elder McKinley I think it's okay
2:58That you're having gay thoughts
2:59Just so long as you never act upon them
3:02No 'cause then
3:04You're just keeping it down
3:06Like a dimmer switch on low
3:09Thinking nobody needs to know
3:12But that's not true
3:14Being gay is bad but lyin' is worse
3:17So just realize you have a curable curse
3:19And turn it off turn it off turn it off
3:51Now how do you feel
3:52The same
3:53Then you've only got yourself to blame
3:56You didn't pretend hard enough
3:58Imagine that your brain is made of tiny boxes
4:02And find the box that's gay and crush it okay
4:06No no I'm not having gay thoughts
4:09Alright it worked
4:13Turn it off turn it off turn it off
4:20Like a light switch just go click
4:23(Click click)
4:24What a cool little Mormon trick
4:26(Trick trick)
4:27We do it all the time
4:29When you're feeling certain
4:30Feelings that don't seem right
4:32Treat those pesky feelings
4:34Like a reading light
4:35Turn it off like a light switch on a cord
4:40Now he's isn't gay any
4:42Turn it turn it turn it off
I got a feelin' that you could be feelin'
A whole lot better than you feel today
You say you got a problem
Well  that's no problem
It's super easy not to feel that way
When you start to get confused
Because of thoughts in your head
Don't feel those feelings
Hold them in instead
Turn it off like a light switch
Just go  click
It's a cool little Mormon trick
We do it all the time
When you're feeling certain feelings
That just don't seem right

And turn 'em off  light a light switch
Just go back
