Cool Fool

Oh, such a big thing to overcome
My compulsion to be the only one
Though you say you love me
They're only words to me
Just a confrontation
With my passion to disbelieve

I ain't cool enough to love you
I ain't fool enough to lose you
But I ain't cool enough to fool you
So just say you love this cool fool

Oh, it seems like such a waste of time
To think of schemes that undermine
Stop. I tell myself
Stop for someone else who might never see
Through the clouds of suspicion
That keep me missin' what is best for me

I ain't cool enough to love you
I ain't fool enough to lose you
But I ain't cool enough to fool you
So just say you love this cool fool

Oh, give this heart an even break
Now that I've learned from my mistakes

Boy on the run
Starin' at the gun that can blow his cool
Head 'em off at the pass
This chance might be his last
To learn love's rules

I ain't cool enough to love you
I ain't fool enough to lose you
But I ain't cool enough to fool you
So just say you love this cool fool
