Playin' It Cool

Oh, I have a crush, but I'm not going to
rush things...
I'll hang back and play it cool
hang back and play it cool...
Yeah, I: really like this girl, but she
don't have a clue about it
I'm acting smooth and playin' it cool
hang back, playin' it cool...

My friends all say I should call her
today
or send her some candy and flowers
but, that ain't my style, I'm gonna give it
a while
while lurking in the shadows...

I'll stick with my plan, although she
don't know who I am
It's all just part of playin' it cool
I want sit down beside her and tell her
that I like her
but, it's probably better that I'm playin'
it cool
Hang back, playin' it cool...

Chorus:
Playin' it cool
Oh, that's my technique...
Playin' it cool!
I been doing it for weeks now...
Playin' it cool! And being discreet...
It's not a mistake, It's mystique...

Now I see this other guy hanging around
the girl I like, but
She'll never like him, he ain't playin' it
cool
and they're holding hands, but this guy
don't understand that
he's better off playin' it cool, like me...
Hand back, playin' it cool...

She's thinking I'm mysterious,
because I haven't said a word to her,
not even once
I look away when she smiles at me, and
soon she will see
that I'm playin' it cool, and that she
really likes me.

(Chorus)
