(Spoken)

Don't talk with your mouth full, it just goes in one ear and out the other.
How many times do I have to tell you, these are the best years of your life?
Why don't you grow up? This is not a social club, you know.
If you want to be treated like an adult, start acting like one!
No bodily function noises during class!
Wipe that grin off your face!
Have a nice day!

(1st Verse)

It's so, so confusing, the things that we are told.
It's so, so confusing, the messages that we get.
Confusing here, confusing there, confusing — everywhere!
It's so, so confusing, the things that we are told.

(Spoken)

Do what I say, not what I do.
You'll do it because I told you to!
Don't ask me why, just do it!
I wish you’d learn to think for yourself.

(2nd Verse)

It's so, so confusing, the things that we are told.
It's so, so confusing, the messages that we get.
Confusing here, confusing there, confusing, everywhere!
It's so, so confusing, the things that we are told.

(Spoken)

Because I said so. Because you're too young.
Because you're too old. Why don't you act your age?

(3rd Verse)

It's so, so confusing, the things that we are told.
It's so, so confusing, the messages that we get.
It's confusing us, it's confusing you.
It's confusing, confusing, confusing, everyone!
It's so, so confusing, the messages that we get.
It's so, so confusing — don't confuse us, confuse us, confuse us —

(Don't confuse us!)

Anymore!

To choose what's best for you, in your life.

And we always will, please be good to yourself.

(Intro)

How do you know... When somethin's not right?
Your knees are a shakin'... And your stomach feels tight...

BodyTalk... BodyTalk... BodyTalk... BodyTalk...

(Chorus)

Listen to your BodyTalk... Listen to your BodyTalk...
Listen to your BodyTalk... Your BodyTalk... Your BodyTalk.

Listen to your BodyTalk... Listen to your BodyTalk...

It's got a language all it's own, "It's like a friend calling on the phone" —

Listen to your BodyTalk... Listen to your BodyTalk...

It's got a language all it's own, "When it calls make sure you're home" —

(1st Verse)

Your knees are shakin' — your stomachs all tight,
You're trying to figure out, what's wrong and what's right.
The hair's standing up on the back of your neck,
And you know this ain't right, and you know this ain't right,
And you know this ain't right, and you know this ain't right, so —

(Chorus)

Stop! And listen to your BodyTalk... Listen to your BodyTalk...
It's got a language all it's own, "It's like a friend callin' on the phone" —

Listen to your BodyTalk... Listen to your BodyTalk...
It's got a language all it's own, "When it calls make sure you're home" —

(2nd Verse)

Your head's turning left, and your head's turning right,
And you're trying to figure out, what's wrong and what's right.
Your heart's pounding hard, there's a lump in your throat,
And you know this ain't right, and you know this ain't right,
And you know this ain't right, and you know this ain't right, so —

(Chorus)

Stop! Stop! Stop!-Stop!-Stop!

And listen to your BodyTalk... Listen to your BodyTalk...
It's got a language all it's own, "It's like a friend callin' on the phone" —

Listen to your BodyTalk... Listen to your BodyTalk...
It's got a language all it's own, "When it calls make sure you're home" —

(3rd Verse)

It's really quite simple and it's really very easy,
If there's something goin' on that makes you feel queasy,
That's your body trying to talk, that's your body trying to talk,
That's your body trying to say, that's your body trying to say,
That's your body trying to tell you — no way!

So —

Stop! Stop! (Stop! Stop!) (Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!) Stop!

(End)

BodyTalk... BodyTalk... BodyTalk... BodyTalk...

Knees are shakin' — is anybody home?
Stomach's callin' — I'm feelin' kinda sick.
Throat's gettin' tight, throat's gettin' tight.
Heart's on the line, heart's on the line —

Stop!

Hello, who is this?

"This is your brain. Do you get the message?"

BodyTalk.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

(Intro)

All You Gotta Do... All You Gotta Do...
All You Gotta Do... All You Gotta Do...

Think what you wanna do...
Decide what is best for you...
Choose what is best to do...
Think what you wanna do — (but first)

(1st Verse)

All you gotta do is make a choice,
It's not too hard to do — to make a choice,
Think about the different things that you can choose,
Think what each'll do, will do, can do — for you,
Think before you make a choice, and then you can —

(Chorus)

Decide — you can decide — what's right!
Decide — decide what's right — for you! (but first)

(2nd Verse)

All you gotta do is make a choice,
It's not too hard to do — to make a choice,
And what will happen — if you don't decide?

"I can't decide, I can't decide, I can't decide!"

You take the chance that someone will —

(Chorus)

Choose — someone will choose — for you!

Yuck! — What if it's not right — for you?

(Bridge)

Think what you wanna do...
Decide what is best for you...
Choose what is best to do...
Think what you wanna do — (but first)

All you gotta... All you gotta...
All you gotta...All — you... All — you — gotta — dooooooo...

(3rd Verse)

All you gotta do is make a choice,
It's not too hard to do - to make a choice,
If you make a choice and later feel:

"This isn't right - and not what I want!

Who says you gotta stick with it? You can —

(Chorus)

Change — you can change — your mind!
Okay — it's okay to change — your mind!

(End)

All You Gotta Do... All You Gotta Do...
All You Gotta Do... All You Gotta Do...

Why?
©1988 Louie Stevens
ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

(1st Verse)

Why? Why do we do... do what we do... when we know... what we do...
Isn't good... good for me... and for you?

Why? Why?

Why... don't we stop... stop what we do... and think... what is good...
Will be good... good for me... and for you?

Why? Why?

Why? Why? Why? Why?

(Bridge)

Why do you do — what you do?
Why do you say — what you say?
Why do you act — the way you act?

Why do you feel — the way you feel?

Think about what you do, think about what you do,
No one can think for you, you know what is best for you.
Think about what you do, think about what you do,
No one can think for you, you know what is best to do.

(Chorus)

Why do we sometimes go along, and follow someone wherever they lead us?
And why do we sometimes do what we're told, when we know it might be wrong?
First you could stop, stop and think, think what you're doing, stop and think.

Stop! Think! Stop! Think!

(2nd Verse)

Why do you do — what you do?
Why do you say — what you say?
Why do you act — the way you act?

Why do you feel — the way you feel?

Think about what you do, think about what you do,
No one can think for you, you know what is best for you.
Think about what you do, no one can think for you.
Stop! (think) stop! (think) stop! (think) stop! (think)

Stop... before you do... do what you do... then think... what is good...
Good for you... if you stop...you can think...

Stop... think.

What... what I said when I wasn't thinking!

It's Okay to "Just Say No!" (The Official "Just Say No" Song)
©1986 Louie Stevens
ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

(Intro)

It's okay, to say no! Yes it's okay, to say no!
Say no, no, no-no-no! Say no! To drugs.

(Chorus)

I say no, no-no-no, no-no-no! (No!)
You say no, no-no-no, no-no-no! (NO!)
I say no, you say no, together we say no,
I say no, you say no, we say no! (NO!)

(1st Verse)

Sometimes you might have friends, they put the pressure on,
And it might seem easy to go along.
But you show a lot more strength, when you go your own way,
And don't do what for you you know is wrong.

(Chorus)

Just say no! No-no-no, no-no-no! (NO!)
Just tell 'em no, no-no-no, no-no-no! (NO!)
The first step is no, then tell 'em you gotta go,
'Cause it's okay to say no, no-no-no! (NO!)

(2nd Verse)

Sure it's hard to look at friends directly in the eye,
And tell them that you won't do what they do.
But it makes a lot more sense, to turn and walk away,
And hope that your friends will follow you.

(Chorus)

Just say no, no-no-no, no-no-no! (NO!)
Yes it's ok to say no, no-no-no! (NO!)
If you feel it's not right, then it must be wrong —

(Bridge)

Stop! (STOP!) And think twice! (THINK TWICE!)
Stop! (STOP!) And think twice! (THINK TWICE!)

Take one second, think it through, think what you're about to do,
Stop! (STOP!) And think twice! (THINK TWICE!)

(3rd Verse)

Just knowing you're doing right, is a feeling that can't be beat,
Knowing that you care about yourself.
And when you're feeling good, you can do anything you want,
There's no limit, to what you can do.

(Chorus)

Just tell 'em no, no-no-no, no-no-no! (NO!)
Yes it's okay to say no, no-no-no! (NO!)

Say it strong, say it proud, stand up and say it loud,
'Cause it's okay to say no! It's okay to say no!
Yes it's okay to say "no" to drugs! (JUST SAY NO!)

Don't —
Don't say —
Don't say yes —
