Oh, I have a crush, but Im not going to
rush things…
Ill hang back and play it cool
hang back and play it cool…
Yeah, I really like this girl, but she
dont have a clue about it
Im 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 aint my style, Im gonna give it
a while
while lurking in the shadows…
Ill stick with my plan, although she
dont know who I am
Its all just part of playin it cool
I want sit down beside her and tell her
that I like her
but, its probably better that Im playin
it cool
Hang back, playin it cool…
Playin it cool
Oh, thats my technique…
Playin it cool!
I been doing it for weeks now…
Playin it cool! And being discreet…
Its not a mistake, Its mystique…
Now I see this other guy hanging around
the girl I like, but
Shell never like him, he aint playin it
cool
and theyre holding hands, but this guy
dont understand that
hes better off playin it cool, like me…
Hand back, playin it cool…
Shes thinking Im mysterious,
because I havent said a word to her,
not even once
I look away when she smiles at me, and
soon she will see
that Im playin it cool, and that she
really likes me.
