Lyrics Original Translation Bilingual
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 Treat those pesky feelings like a reading light And turn 'em off! Like a light switch, just ust go back Really, what's so hard about that? Turn it off! Turn it off, right there! When I was young, my dad would treat my mom real bad Every time the Utah jags would lose He started drinking And I started thinking "How am I gonna keep my mom from getting abused? " I'd see her all scared and my soul was dying My dad would say to me" now don't you dare start crying. " Turn it off Like a light switch, just go 'flick' It's our nifty little Mormon trick Turn it off! Turn-it-off! My sister was a dancer But she got cancer The doctor said she still had two months more I thought she had time so I got in line For the new iPhone at the Apple store She laid there dying with my father and mother Her very last words were "Where is my brother?" Turn it off! (Yeah!) Bid those sad feelings adiue The fear that I might get cancer too (haha) When I was in fifth grade I had a friend, Steve Blade (uh, Steve Blade) He and I were close as two friends could be (we could be) One thing led to another And soon I would discover (what?) I was having really strange feelings for Steve (ah-ah, feelings for Steve) I thought about us on a deserted island (in the island) We'd swim naked in the sea And then he'd try and Woah! Turn it off! Like a light switch There, it's gone (good for you!) My hetero side just won! I'm all better now Boys should be with girls, that's heavenly father's plan So if you ever feel you'd rather be with a man Turn it off ("Well, Elder Mckennly, I think it's okay if you're having gay thoughts") ("Just so long as you don't act on them") No! 'Cause then you're just keeping it down Like a dimmer switch on low (on low) Thinking nobody needs to know (oh-oh) But that's not true! Being gay is bad, but lying is worse So, just realize you have a curable curse And turn it off! (Turn it off!) Turn it off! Turn it off! ย Turn it off Yeah, how do you feel? The same! (aww) And you've only got yourself to blame You didn't pretend hard enough Imagine that your brain is made of tiny boxes The kind of box that gay and, crush it Okay! No, no I'm not having gay thoughts Alright, it worked! Hey! Turn it off, turn it off Turn it off, turn it off Turn it off, turn it off Like a light switch just go click (click click!) What a cool little Mormon trick! (Trick trick!) We do it all the time! When you're feeling certain feelings That just don't seem right (don't seem right) Treat those pesky feelings Like a reading light Turn it off Like a light switch on a cord Now he isn't gay anymore Turn it, turn it, turn it, turn it Turn it, turn it, turn it, turn it Turn it Turn it off! ย
