Strut Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wanna start a revolution
A type of personal solution
We all have got our own pollution
It's all about the execution


[Pre-Chorus]
You got something to say, your hands are tied
Open your mouth, open it wide
Let the freedom begin
Get on the floor, just let it drop
Don't it feel good? Don't it feel hot?
Feel the fire within

[Chorus]
I wanna see you strut, strut, strut
Come on, walk for me
Strut, strut, strut
How you wanna be
Everybody's looking for some love
But they don't know
How to let it all hang out
And that's why they're solo, solo, solo
Don't wanna be solo, solo, solo
Don't wanna be solo

[Verse 2]
We're a complicated nation
And now we're in a situation
Let's take a make-believe vacation
And get yourself some validation


[Pre-Chorus]
You got something to say, your hands are tied
Open your mouth, open it wide
Let the freedom begin
Get on the floor, just let it drop
Don't it feel good? Don't it feel hot?
Feel the fire within

[Chorus]
I wanna see you strut, strut, strut
Come on, walk for me
Strut, strut, strut
How you wanna be
Everybody's looking for some love
But they don't know
How to let it all hang out
And that's why they're solo, solo, solo
Don't wanna be solo, solo, solo
Don't wanna be solo

[Bridge]
I'll be your mirror
Darling, let your hair down
Show me what you're working with and let me see you

[Chorus]
(Strut) Strut, strut
Strut, strut
How you wanna be
Everybody's looking for some love
But they don't know
How to let it all hang out
And that's why they're solo, solo, solo
And that's why they're solo, solo, solo
Don't wanna be solo


[Outro]
Strut for me and show me what you're working with
Strut for me and show me what you're working with
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, oh

What did Adam Lambert say about "Strut"?
Genius Answer

“Strut,” it’s not incredibly hooky, but it’s a self-empowerment thing. Strut it out, work your shit, and feel good about yourself and let it all hang out, sooner or later you’re going to find love and be happy in your life. So it’s fun and it’s lighthearted, but it definitely has some weight to it, as far as what it’s trying to say.
