Whoo! |
|
Girl I've been cryin' ever since you left |
|
My mama told me get a hold of yourself |
|
And be cool, calm and keep yourself together |
|
She said be cool, calm and keep yourself together, ha ha ha, ha |
|
Sugar plum you're really gold |
|
And it just don't help to cry |
|
So I wiped my tears away the other day |
|
And strung my handkerchief up to dry |
|
Then I changed my style puttin' on a smile |
|
And went out to face the world |
|
The smile I wear see, ha, I don't care that I just lost my girl |
|
But I still get that old yearnin' |
|
Can't be cool when my heart is burnin' |
|
I still get that old feelin' |
|
Can't be calm when my head is reelin' |
|
I say mother dear see here, see here |
|
Tell me now what shall I do |
|
Can't have that girl and I love her true |
|
She said when things give up be manly |
|
Now to be cool, calm, and keep yourself together |
|
That's what my mama said |
|
Be cool, calm, and keep yourself together, ha ha |
|
Sugar pie you said goodbye |
|
And I cried myself to sleep |
|
That's when my mother said don't lose your head son |
|
It just don't help to weep |
|
Now I'm the great pretender |
|
I don't surrender to what I feel inside |
|
I'm the life of the crowd, and ha, I left my blood |
|
But it's all a fake disguise |
|
'Cause I still hear my heart poundin' |
|
Hard to be cool when you come around me |
|
I still feel my heart purrin' |
|
Hard to be calm when my insides stirrin' |
|
I say mother dear see here, see here |
|
Tell me now which way to go |
|
Can't have that girl and I love her so |
|
She said whenever you're blue, whatever you do |
|
Be cool, calm, and keep yourself together |
|
That's what my mama said |
|
Be cool, calm, and keep yourself together |
