I thought you and me were something special;
Thought you thought that way too.
Now I know that this ol' boy just ain't
The best you think you'll ever do.
Chorus:
It ain't cool to be crazy about you,
It ain't suave or debonair
To let you know I care, like I do.
It ain't smart to be so reckless with my heart.
(I) should have known right from the start
I'd end up like a fool; believe me, it ain't cool.
All of my friends, they tried to tell me
What and what not to do.
It took a while for them to sell me,
But finally they got through.
Chorus
