Playin It Cool

(j. d. souther/t. b. schmit/j. leo/v. melamed)
Its a long hot afternoon
Staring at the same old books
Teacher says youll be out soon
But, she dont know how long it looks
You wanna get outside
You wanna go for a ride
And start playin it cool
They tell you graduate
But, i just cant wait
To start playin it cool
Pretty girls everywhere
Walkin up and down the hall
Then you see her standing there
Leaning up against the wall
She could be dying to dance
You got to take that chance
On playin it cool
You better tell her twice
cuz shes a little too nice
Shes got to play it cool
Play it cool
Play it cool
One more afternoon
Starin at the parking lot
I hope i get out soon
cuz summertime is all we got
You did the hardest part
Now its time to start
Playin it cool
Nobody really knows
Thats the way it goes
When youre playin it cool
Play it cool
Play it cool
C-o-o-cool
You wanna get outside
You wanna go for a ride
And start playin it cool
They tell you graduate
But, i just cant wait
To start playin it cool
We did the hardest part
Now its time to start
Playin it cool
Nobody really knows
Thats the way it goes
When youre playin it cool
Playin it cool
Uou got to play it cool
Playin it cool
