So far this love is delightful The face of seduction was you But I listened for each and every footstep In this Real Cool World Questioning saint like and fantastic heroes Feeling like lost little children in fabled lands So I listen for each and every friendship In this Real Cool World Now there is you In my Real Cool World Starry-eyed life but somehow believing in nothing You whisper sweet nothing but reading between your lines I listen, color me doubtful In this Real Cool World Now there is you In my Real Cool World Mmm Now there is you In my Real Cool World You came from nowhere You came from nowhere You held me you shook me Hey It's a Cool World It's a Cool World It's a Real Cool World It's a Real Cool World It's a Real Cool World It's a Real Cool World Now there is you In my Real Cool World Now there is you In my Real Cool World Now there is you In my Real Cool World Real Cool World
