Lyrics

Cool

Try your best to keep composure Don't give up all of your smiles

Push away and then come closer Ain't been touched in a while

Sometimes I get too excited Stars behind my eyelids

Sometimes I'm nodding in agreement I don't agree they see it

Play it cool Do our favorite just for you Cool Being cold and just for you

Try your best to calm me down Don't give them all of yourself 'Cause one day, they won't be around Can't go to them for help

Sometimes I see myself five foot four Playing in my room alone

Sometimes I see myself abusing thought A nigga and no friends at all

Play it cool Do our favorite just for you Cool Being cold and just for you
