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, light a light switch Just go back Really, what's so hard about that Turn it off, turn it off When I was young my dad Would treat my mom real bad Every time the Utah Jazz would lose He'd start a drinkin' and I'd start a thinkin' How'm I gonna keep my mom from getting abused I'd see her all scared and my soul was dyin' My dad would say to me Now don't you dare start cryin' 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 lay there dying with my father and mother Her very last words were, "Where is my brother?" Turn it off Bid those sad feelings adieu The fear that I might get cancer, too When I was in fifth grade I had a friend, Steve Glade He and I were close as two friends could be One thing led to another and soon I would discover I was having really strange feelings for Steve I thought about us on a deserted island We'd swim naked in the sea and then he'd try and whoa Turn it off like a light switch There, it's gone 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 McKinley, I think it's okay That you're having gay thoughts Just so long as you never act upon them No 'cause then you're just keeping it down Like a dimmer switch on low Thinking nobody needs to know But that's not true Being gay is bad but lyin' is worse So just realize you have a curable curse And turn it off, turn it off, turn it off Now how do you feel? The same Then you've only got yourself to blame You didn't pretend hard enough Imagine that your brain is made of tiny boxes And find the box that's gay and crush it, okay No, no, I'm not having gay thoughts Alright, it worked Turn it off, turn it off, turn it off Like a light switch, just go click What a cool little Mormon trick We do it all the time When you're feeling certain feelings that don't seem right Treat those pesky feelings like a reading light Turn it off like a light switch on a cord Now he's isn't gay any Turn it, turn it, turn it off ย
