Lyrics

I don't know the deal,

but darling it's good to touch.

You can take the wheel

and honey I'll work the clutch.

Then tell your friends, he's nice,

but maybe a bit too much.'

You play it cool.

You play it cool.

You speak of Friedrich N

while suckin' on cigarettes.

Your all too human charms

I quietly must profess-

I'll give you all you want,

but somehow that don't impress...

When you play it cool.

You play it cool.

But I'm hoping for your sake,

that tomorrow when you wake,

that you can give as well as take

and not play it cool.

You play it cool.

You play it cool.

You play it cool.

You play it cool.

You play it cool.

I have this grand idea,

how 'bout we climb your wall?

Built from your mistrust,

and baby you've built it tall.

We'll jump and hit the ground

but first we'll enjoy the fall.

But you play it cool.

So you may say our rendezvous

was something nice but nothing true,

but don't forget I was there too...

When you play it cool.

(You are so cool.)

You so cool,

baby you so cool.

(You think I'm pretty cool.)

Oh you so cool,

baby you so cool.

(You think I'm pretty cool.)

Baby you so cool.

I wanna be so cool like you.

Baby you so cool.

Oh, you are.
