I thought you and me were something special
Thought you thought that way too
Now I know that this old boy just ain't
The best you think you'll ever do

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

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
