PEOPLE SAY I'M COOL,
YA', I'M A COOL, CHICK BABY.
EV'RY DAY I THANK GOD
THAT I'M SUCH A COOL, CHICK BABY.
WHEN I'M ON THE PHONE, I THANK GOD,
MY VOICE SOUNDS SMOOTH AND CLEAR WITHOUT A TRACE OF TEAR.
WHEN I'M AT WORK, I THANK GOD,
I STILL HAVE THAT SMILE MA USED TO SAY LIT HER DAY.
BUT SOMETHING INSIDE ME, SOMETHING INSIDE ME DIED THAT DAY.
PEOPLE SAY I'M COOL,
YA', I'M A COOL, CHICK BABY.
EV'RY DAY I THANK GOD
THAT I'M SUCH A COOL, CHICK BABY.
WHEN I'M WITH PEOPLE, I THANK GOD,
I CAN TALK HIP WHEN I'M CRYING INSIDE.
WHEN I'M WITH FRIENDS, I THANK GOD,
I CAN LIGHT A CIGARETTE WHEN I'M CHOKING INSIDE.
PEOPLE SAY I'M COOL,
YA', I'M A COOL, CHICK BABY.
EV'RY DAY I THANK GOD
THAT I'M SUCH A COOL, CHICK BABY.
A FRIEND LENT ME SHADES
SO I COULD HIDE MY EYES THAT DAY.
WAS A SNOWY DAY,
THE SHADES HAVE SEEN A LOT OF THINGS I DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW MYSELF.
WAS LIKE AN ACCIDENT, PART OF GROWING UP,
PEOPLE TELL ME.
BUT SOMETHING INSIDE ME, SOMETHING INSIDE ME DIED THAT DAY.
WHAT DO YOU DO-OO? WHAT CAN YOU DO?
WHAT DO YOU DO-OO? WHAT CAN YOU DO?
THE WORLD SUDDENLY LOOKS A STRANGE PLACE,
PEOPLE SEEM TALKING IN FOREIGN WORDS.
AND SOMETHING INSIDE ME, SOMETHING INSIDE ME DIED THAT DAY.
WHAT DO YOU DO-OO? WHAT CAN YOU DO?
WHAT DO YOU DO-OO? WHAT CAN YOU DO?
