Because you know I'm all about that bass, cannon bass, no cello
I'm all about that bass, cannon bass, no cello (x3)

Yeah, it's pretty clear. I ain't no connoisseur
Of classical [bad word] on it's such a bore.
Cause I got the wub wubs that all the clubs playin'
All the right drops in all the right places.

I see you sneerin' at me- right through my purple shades. 
We got our differences, but-
I'd rather love then hate.
Don't judge somepony that you don't even know.
In this business, it don't matter if your music's fast or slow.

Yeah, my mama, she told me, don't worry about your style.
(Ooooh wub wub, sha-ooooh wub wub)
She said "ponies will love you and they'll stick around awhile."
(They’ll love you, love you. They’ll love you, love you)
And, no, I won't change who I am just to [bad word] some big star.
(Ooooh wub wub, sha-ooooh wub wub)
I'm gonna do my own thing and I know that I'm gonna go far.

I'm bringin' dorky baaaaack~
Know I don't look it, but I'm pretty bad-
With mares, I know onstage, I seem real rad.
But once I step off, I'm a huge nerd, I confess. I'm just a goofy, awkward mess.

Yeah, my mama, she told me, don't stress over your love life.
(Ooooh wub wub, sha-ooooh wub wub)
She said [bad word] and go. You want one that'll treat you right."
(Ooooh wub wub, sha-ooooh wub wub)
I've learned you gotta be happy alone first, don’t got a plan.
(Ooooh wub wub, sha-ooooh wub wub)
I know someday, I’ll find the one who likes me for who I am.
