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'll 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've 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]
