One Direction lyrics for the college bound

In a perfect world, boy bands would incorporate SAT vocabulary into their song lyrics...

    

You're nonchalant

Don't know what for

You're being scrutinized when you walk through the door 

On you, make-up would be superfluous

Being the way that you are is exemplary

 

Everyone else in the room can see it lucidly

Everyone else but you

 

Baby, it's unequivocal 

The way that you flip your hair destroys my equanimity 

But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell

You don't recognize your own aesthetic

If only you were clairvoyant 

You'd understand why I want you so zealously

Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe

You don't know

You don't know you're provocative

Which strikes me as fortuitous

 

So c-come on

Don't be obstinate

To substantiate my rhetoric 

I'm going to elucidate it in a song

I don't know why

You're being diffident

And suppress your reaction when I look in your eye, eye, eyes.

Such big words! Thank heavens for those books you can look stuff up...in.

[Suburban Kamikaze]

Big words, yes, but now at least you can dance to them.
