Playin' It Cool! Songtext

My friends all say I should call her today
Or send her some candy and flowers,
But that ain't my style, I'm gonna give it a while
While lurking in the shadows...

Yeah, I'll stick with my plan although she don't know who I am,
It's all just part of playing it cool
I wanna sit down beside her and tell her that I like her, but
It's probably better that I'm playing it cool

(Hang back, playin' it cool)

Playin' it cool, that's my technique
Playin' it cool, I've been doing it for weeks now
Playin' it cool and being discreet
It's not a mistake, it's mystique...

Now I see this other guy hanging around the girl I like, but
She'll never like him, he ain't playin' it cool
And they're holding hands but this guy don't understand that He's better off just playing it cool like me

(Hang back, playin' it cool)

She's thinking I'm mysterious,
Because I haven't said a word to her not even once
I look away when she smiles at me and soon she will see
That I'm playing it cool and that she really likes me.

Yeah!

Playin' it cool, that's my technique
Playin' it cool, I've been doing it for weeks now
Playin' it cool and being discreet
It's not a mistake, it's mystique...

Yeah!

Playin' it cool, that's my technique
Playin' it cool, I've been doing it for weeks now
Playin' it cool and being discreet
It's not a mistake, it's mystique...
