(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice)
« © '70 Jack & Bill Music »
The time will come when I'll be free from this heart you have on me
When you hurt me more than I love you
You'll pay for every time I've cried just as soon as I decide
That you've hurt me more than I love you
Cause maybe I won't love you when it's done
It may not take but one more pain just one more might make the change
If you hurt me more than I love you
Maybe mine next heartache will be the final one
Cause maybe I won't love you when it's done
This love that's kept me yours so long will die someday if I'll be gone
When you've hurt me more than I love you when you've hurt me more than I love you
The lyrics to "Cooler Than Me" by J.Smith describe the singer's dissatisfaction with the person they are addressing. The singer believes that they are "cooler" than the person they are addressing and that this person is somehow inferior. The lyrics suggest that the singer is frustrated with the other person's lack of interest or attention, as evidenced by lines like "You got designer shades just to hide your face" and "You got your high brow, shoes on your feet / And you wear them around like it ain't shit."
The singer seems to be making a case for themselves as more desirable and more interesting than the person they are addressing, and they seem to be trying to convince this person to pay more attention to them. The repeated refrain of "You ain't got nothing on me" reinforces this idea and suggests a sense of insecurity on the part of the singer. Ultimately, the lyrics suggest that the singer is frustrated with their current situation and is seeking something more fulfilling and rewarding.
