Ain't Never Been Cool
Lucky Soul Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I ain’t never been cool,
I ain’t never been cool.
Won’t get in your gang, (ain’t getting in, I’m)
Won’t fit in your clique (not unique.)
Won’t tap you on the shoulder,
Or kiss you on the cheek.
I heard you do want to, do what you want to.
Oh, but you don’t know do you?

I ain’t never been cool,
I ain’t never been cool.
Won’t get in your club, (ain’t getting in, I’m)
Not quite up your street (not your scene.)
It’s terribly exciting…
I’m practically asleep.
I heard you say what you want, say what you want to.
Oh, but you don’t know do you?
Oh, but you don’t know do you?
Oh, but you don’t know do you?

I ain’t never been cool.
I ain’t never been cool.
I ain’t never been cool!
I ain’t never been cool!

Won’t get in your gang, (ain’t getting in, I’m)
Won’t fit in your clique (not unique.)
Won’t tap you on the shoulder,
Or kiss you on the cheek.
Ooh I heard you.

Do what you want, do what you want to.
Say what you want, to who you want to.
Be what you want, be what you want to.
Love what you want, love who you want to.

Do what you want, do what you want to.
Say what you want, to who you want to.
Be who you want, be what you want to.
Do what you want, do what you want to!

I ain’t never been cool.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lucky Soul's song "Ain't Never Been Cool" express the singer's discomfort at not being able to fit in with a certain group of people. The song highlights the singer's lack of coolness and their inability to join the club or clique that they desire. The singer is resigned to not being able to fit in and is content to simply observe from the sidelines. They are aware that the people they desire to be friends with do what they want and say what they want, but the singer realizes that they themselves do not possess the same confidence or coolness that would allow them to do so.


The lyrics convey a sense of resignation and longing for acceptance. The singer is torn between wanting to fit in and realizing that they never will. The repetition of the lines "I ain't never been cool" emphasizes the singer's sense of isolation and reinforces the theme of the song. The final repetition of "do what you want" serves as a message of empowerment, urging the listener to be who they want to be regardless of their perceived coolness or acceptance by others.
