Cool
Foxy Shazam Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl I want you bad,
I want you so, so, so bad.
I put my heart on the line,
I put my heart on the line for you.
It makes no difference to me
As long as I got you by my side.

You're a cool runner,
Babe I gotta tell ya
You're so cool
When you're not around.
It's a nasty job,
But someone's gotta do it.
I just pray
That it won't be me.

Girl I need you bad,
I need you so, so, so bad.
I put my heart on the line,
I put my heart on the line for you.
It makes no difference to me
As long as I got you by my side.

You're a cool runner,
Babe I gotta tell ya
You're so cool
When you're not around.
It's a nasty job,
But someone's gotta do it.
I just pray
That it won't be me.





All that I mean is your ways are so lonely,
But I don't care, I can wait, you're so beautiful
