Simon Says Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every day I put my hands on my head
Every day my fingers are a gun
Every day I'm making strange faces
Every day I'm sticking out my tongue
Every day I take a step backwards
Every night I bend and touch my toes
But I'm never taking any action
Not unless my baby says so

[Pre-Chorus]
My mom says I'll fade away
Sister says that she's scared
My dad says I let him down
But I don't care


[Chorus]
'Cause Simon says, na-na-na-na-na-na
I'm the best, na-na-na-na-na-na
His princess, na-na-na-na-na-na
(Hey) Ha, ha, ha
When Simon says, na-na-na-na-na-na
You're the best, na-na-na-na-na-na
I say yes, na-na-na-na-na-na
(Hey) Ha, ha, ha

[Verse 2]
Every day in every way's a puzzle
Pieces of a person are a game
Love is still a mystery to me but
Watch me move when I hear his name
And I don't wanna talk about it right now
I'd rather keep my visions to myself
Everybody wants to block my man out
But he's the only one that's gonna help

[Pre-Chorus]
Me when my mind is weak
And I'm gasping for air
They all say I gotta stop
But I don't care

[Chorus]
'Cause Simon says, na-na-na-na-na-na
I'm the best, na-na-na-na-na-na
His princess, na-na-na-na-na-na
(Hey) Ha, ha, ha
When Simon says, na-na-na-na-na-na
You're the best, na-na-na-na-na-na
I say yes, na-na-na-na-na-na
(Hey) Ha, ha, ha

[Bridge]
(Hey) I got a friend you'll never see
I got a friend and he loves me (Hey)
I got a friend you'll never see
I got a friend and he loves me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

In a Q&A on Twitter, a fan asked what is “Simon Says” about and Allie replied with a video saying

The song is about having an imaginary friend that really gets you and you really relate to them but everyone else can’t see them so they think you’re totally crazy.

‘'Simon Says” is the sixth track off Allie X’s second album titled CollXtion II which follows her debut album CollXtion I. The song is written by Allie X and co-written by her collaborator Jungle George.

There are lyrical references to the lyrics from Allie’s song “Good” from her debut album CollXtion I. While she is concerned about her family in “Good” she seems bitter and delusional in “Simon Says”.
