Cool Under Pressure
Randall King Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got a full tank and no floorboard trash
Smells good
For a girl like her, well I guess it should
Thumbing for a tune on the radio
One that′ll make her slide over real close
The perfect song
I gotta stay cool under pressure
Ready or not
I gotta be smooth if I'm gonna get her
I don′t wanna blow this shot
Can't let her see what she's doin′ to me
′Cause man, I really like her a lot
I gotta stay cool under pressure
Should I wait by the truck or go knock on her door?
Don't think I′ve ever been this nervous before
She stepped outside
Aw hell boy, what's my line
Just gotta stay cool under pressure
Ready or not
I gotta be smooth if I′m gonna get her
I don't wanna blow this shot
Can′t let her see what she's doin' to me
′Cause man, I really like her a lot
I gotta stay cool under pressure
They say every woman knows if you′re the one by the first kiss
If it goes that far tonight, well I hope I don't miss
Aw but if I do
Boy just stay cool under pressure
Ready or not
I gotta be smooth if I′m gonna get her
I don't wanna blow this shot
Can′t let her see what she's doin′ to me
'Cause man, I really like her a lot
I gotta stay cool under pressure
Gotta stay cool under pressure
Be cool under pressure
