Is It Cos I'm Cool

Is it ‘cos I’m cool
Why you dress like me is it honesty or you just a fool
Is it ‘cos I’m cool
Why the school kids laugh cause the papers got it wrong again
Is it ‘cos I’m cool
Take a piece of me serve me up on a plate in your restaurant
Is it ‘cos I’m cool
Is it ‘cos I’m cool
Is it ‘cos I’m fly
‘Cos I said what I said when I said what I said but I didn’t say
Is it ‘cos I’m hip
Why you dig my shit and you say I am a fan now I understand
Is it ‘cos I‘m hot
Why you mention me in your V.I.P memories
Is it ‘cos I’m cool
Is it ‘cos I’m cool
I ainÂ’t buying or selling today
I‘m just looking around
For some decent conversation
No hidden agenda
No phony pretender
No holding on out for no sweet sixteen
Or peppermint dream
IÂ’ll call you please donÂ’t call me
Is it ‘cos I’m cool
Is it ‘cos I’m cool
Is it ‘cos I’m Smart
Why you break my heart with the lies you tell baby kiss and tell
Is it ‘cos I’m wrong
That you jump right in with no discipline baby sink or swim
Is it ‘cos we’re friends why you use my name just to entertain yeah
Is it ‘cos I’m cool
Is it ‘cos I’m cool
Time keeps ticking and running away
And ItÂ’s taking us fast to a brand new free dimension
Too cool to mention well thatÂ’s the intention
But some of us too damn blind to see
ItÂ’s setting us free
Say goodbye to jealousy
Is it ‘cos I’m cool
Is it ‘cos I’m cool
Is It Cos I'm Cool
