"Hyperactivity" (Another Music video) Songtext
von Mark Lowry

(Action!)

(Uno, dos, tres, cuatro)
(What I wanna know now is what we′re gonna do)
(Just won't stop singin′ in my head!)
(What I wanna know now is what we're gonna do)
(Hold it!) (2*)
(What I wanna know now--)
(Uno)
(Nope, oh, no, can't do that!)
(Uno, dos)
(Aah!)
(Uno)
(Hold it!)
(Uno, dos, tres, cuatro)

Diagnosed as hyper from the day I was born.
Been drivin′ people crazy ever since that morn. (morn, morn)
When the doctor held me up he gave me a smack! (smack, smack)
I reached around my mama and I slapped him back! (back, back)


CHORUS:
They might tame the wind,
They might calm the sea,
But they′ll never harness my energy.
I'm the poster boy for hyperactivity!
It′s not my fault!
The world's not keeping up with me!

(Nope, oh, no, can′t do that!)

Knew that I was different from the rest of my peers.
None of them were swingin' from the chandeliers! (liers, liers)
I never got a star for bein′ good in class! (class, class)
Outlived my teachers, that's how I passed! (passed, passed)

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(What I wanna know now is what we're gonna do)

A hyperactive kid may be hard to control,
But you gotta admit, life is never dull! (dull, dull)
I spend my day just cuttin′ up and pullin′ pranks! (pranks, pranks)
I save the world from boredom and I get no thanks! (thanks!)

(REPEAT CHORUS)

It's not my fault!
(Nope, oh, no, can′t do that!)
It's not my fault!
(OH, NO!)
It′s not my fault!
The world's not keeping up with me!
(Now, have you heard it backwards?)
