How to Write a Pop Song
Step one just get online and hunt for the trendiest conversation
Don't get creative, just gather the data
Step two get a real good producer who can make you sound smoother
And cover up your imperfections with some tricks on a computer
Step three just make sure you have a real nice beat
If you get stuck on the words repeat, repeat, repeat
The chorus has got to be big
The thoughts have gotta be small
Throw in Love and above, baby and crazy
And now you've got it all
If you think too hard
You will get it wrong
You gotta stay nice and stupid
If you wanna write a pop song
Just sing about your ex and how things used to be
Or steal a good idea from some song in the 70's
Strip it down of anything that's unpredictable
Turn it up and they'll forget about the original
You can sing out nothing new, loud as you want
As long as everybody else can sing along
The chorus has got to be big
The thoughts have gotta be small
Throw in Love and above, baby and crazy
And now you've got it all
If you think too hard
You will get it wrong
You gotta stay nice and stupid
If you wanna write a pop song
If you wanna write a pop song
Old cassettes and 45's will disagree
(What will they tell you?)
But oh, they're just mad cause they'll disappear with history
(Well then, let's take it back a bit)
If we go to "way back when"
It's already been said
So just do what you're told and follow all the steps
The chorus has got to be big
The thoughts have gotta be small
Throw in Love and above, baby and crazy
And now you've got it all
If you think too hard
You will get it wrong
You gotta stay nice and stupid
Don't make it too convoluted
Keep it loose and barely lucid
If you want to write a pop song
Don't get creative, just gather the data
Step two get a real good producer who can make you sound smoother
And cover up your imperfections with some tricks on a computer
Step three just make sure you have a real nice beat
If you get stuck on the words repeat, repeat, repeat
The chorus has got to be big
The thoughts have gotta be small
Throw in Love and above, baby and crazy
And now you've got it all
If you think too hard
You will get it wrong
You gotta stay nice and stupid
If you wanna write a pop song
Just sing about your ex and how things used to be
Or steal a good idea from some song in the 70's
Strip it down of anything that's unpredictable
Turn it up and they'll forget about the original
You can sing out nothing new, loud as you want
As long as everybody else can sing along
The chorus has got to be big
The thoughts have gotta be small
Throw in Love and above, baby and crazy
And now you've got it all
If you think too hard
You will get it wrong
You gotta stay nice and stupid
If you wanna write a pop song
If you wanna write a pop song

Don't make it too convoluted
