My First Attempts at Songwriting- One Direction Style


My kids always struggle with rational and irrational numbers. 
For some reason they can't decide if a number should be rational 
or irrational. They think because it's a decimal or it repeats, it is 
irrational. So because of this, I decided to write a song that they 
could sing to help them remember.

Soooooo....imagine One Direction's What Makes You Beautiful 
while you sing this song. Here's a link to the song I would 
Really pleased with how it turned out, but please let me know if 
you think I should change anything!!I will try to have my kids 
sing it next week, when I do I will make a recording of it! :) 

What Makes You Rational
           
            You’re insecure
            Don’t know what for
            You’re turning heads when your written on pa-a-per.
           
            Don’t need to go, on and on.
            Ending the way that you do is enough.

            [Bridge]
            Everyone else in the room can see it
            Your number is a clue.
           
            [Chorus]
            Baby you can repeat like nobody else
            The way that you terminate gets me overwhelmed.
            But when you’re in a fraction it ain’t hard to tell.
            You don’t know oh oh.
            You don’t know you’re rational.
            If only you saw what I could see
            You’d understand why your pattern is a necessity.
            Right now I’m looking at you and I can’t believe
            You don’t know oh oh, you don’t know your rational.
            Oh oh
            That’s what makes you rational.

            So c-come on. You’ve got it wrong.
            To prove you’re not irrational I’ll sing this so-o-ong.
            I don’t know why, you wanna be like pi
            If you didn't have a pattern, you’d make us cry-y-y.

            [Bridge]

            [Chorus]

            Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
            Na Na Na Na Na Na Na [x2]

            Baby you can repeat like nobody else.
            The way that you terminate gets me overwhelmed
            But when your in a fraction it ain’t hard to tell

You don’t know oh oh, you don’t know you’re rational.

[Chorus]
