  • Everybody's saying silly things
    Without knowing that life brings a change
    And they've been checking all the signs
    My friends say I'm lovesick 'cause I

    All I keep thinking about is her in my arms (got to see what love is all about)
    And I won't be the same until she is mine
    And my friends keep telling me to

    Cool it now
    You got to cool it now
    Ooh, watch out
    You're gonna lose control
    Cool it now
    You got to slow it down
    Slow it down
    You're gonna fall in love

    Every day I walk her home from school
    And she tells me, how she really feels
    And there's no doubt in my mind
    That this girl is one of a kind

    'Cause all I keep thinking about is her in my arms (understand you're one of a kind)
    And I won't feel the same until she is mine
    And my friends keep telling me to

    Cool it now
    You got to cool it now
    Ooh, watch out
    You're gonna lose control
    Cool it now
    You better slow it down
    Slow it down
    You're gonna fall in love
    Cool it now
    You got to cool it now
    Ooh, watch out
    You're gonna lose control
    Cool it now
    You got to slow it down
    Slow it down
    You're gonna fall in love

    All I keep thinking about is her in my arms (got to see what love is all about)
    And I'll never be the same until you are mine
    And my friends keep telling me

    When you got a girl who takes her time
    You must slow the pace, you can't mess with her mind
    If she feels the same, she'll let ya know
    Just prepare yourself or be ready to go
    And I hope this message stays in your mind
    'Cause you almost lost a girl who is right on time
    There's one more thing that you got to know
    Just cool it down and stay in control

    Cool it now
    You got to cool it now
    Ooh, watch out
    You're gonna lose control
    Cool it now
    You better slow it down
    Slow it down
    'Cause you're gonna fall in love, babe

    And all I keep thinking about is her in my arms (understand you're one of a kind)
    And I'll never be the same until you are mine, oh
    Listen to me, let me tell you

    Why you all coming down on me?
    Tryna tell me how my life is supposed to be
    I know you're only trying to help me out
    Tryna show me what life is really about
    But this time I'm gonna make it on my own
    So why don't you fellas just leave me alone
    Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, and Mike
    If I love the girl, who cares who you like

    Cool it now
    Ooh, watch out (out, out, out)
    Cool it now
    Slow it down (down, down, down)
    Cool it now
    Ooh, watch out (out, out, out)
    Cool it now
    Slow it down (down, down, down)

    Cool it now
    Ooh, watch out
    'Cause you're gonna lose control
    Cool it now
    You got to slow it down
    Slow it down
    You're gonna fall in love

    Cool it now
    Slow it down
    You're gonna lose control
    Cool it now
    You got to slow it down
    Slow it down
    'Cause you're gonna fall in love
    Cool it now
    Slow it down
    'Cause you're gonna lose control
    Cool it now
    You got to slow it down
    Slow it down
    Cool it now
    Ooh, watch out
    Cool it now
