Lyrics

Let me tell you something you can really trustEverybody's got a wicked sideI know you think that you could never be like usWatch and learn so you can get it right

You need to drag your feetYou need to nod your headYou need to lean backSlip through the cracksYou need to not careYou need to not stareYou need a whole lotta helpYou need to not be yourself

You wanna be cool?Let me show you howYou break the rulesI can show you howAnd once you catch this feelingYeah, once you catch this feelingYou'll be chillin', chillin', ohChillin' like a villainChillin', chillin', ohChillin' like a villain

Hey!Chillin' likeChillin' likeHey!Villain

You draw attention when you act like thatLet us teach you how to disappearYou look like you would lose a fight to an alley catGotta be wrong to get it right 'round here

You need to watch your backYou need to creep aroundYou need to slide real smoothDon't make a soundAnd if you want it, take itAnd if you can't take it, break itIf you care about your healthSeriously, you need to not be yourself

You wanna be cool?Let me show you howYou break the rulesI can show you howAnd once you catch this feelingYeah, once you catch this feelingYou'll be chillin', chillin', ohChillin' like a villainChillin', chillin', ohChillin' like a villain

Villains gotta hideHide your heartDon't let it showBut I'm not that kinda guyNot that kinda guyVillains gotta hideKeep it smoothGotta let it goBut I'm not that kinda guyNot that kinda guy

You wanna be cool?Let me show you howYou break the rulesI can show you howAnd once you catch this feelingYeah, once you catch this feelingYou'll be chillin', chillin', ohChillin' like a villainChillin', chillin', ohChillin' like a villainChillin', chillin', ohChillin' like a villainChillin', chillin', ohChillin' like a villain
