Lose My Cool
SWV feat. Redman Lyrics

Yo, word up I gotta ask her myself
I need to talk to her myself because she said she saw you the other day

I heard you losing your cool
I heard that you are losing control of your emotions

I'm just rolling with some broads that got pretty toes with me
I am hanging out with some women who have attractive feet

No matter what the media hype, ya still get wrecked
Regardless of what the media says, you still face challenges and difficulties

We trying to eat and trying to be consecutive with the ruck
We are trying to succeed and stay consistent despite the obstacles we face

Calm my tempers down more 'cause Biggie Smalls was enough
I need to control my temper more because the loss of Biggie Smalls was already too much

Save yo beef for the rice and broccoli
Save your arguments for something trivial

So I suggest you better
So I suggest that you improve your behavior

People say when love comes your way you will know how to take it
Some people believe that if love comes your way, you will know how to handle it

Others say you won't know so just fake it until you make it
Others believe you will not know what to do and should pretend until you figure it out

In my case, I wouldn't know how to recognize love if he looked me in the eye
Personally, I don't think I would be able to identify love even if it was staring me in the face

But what I do know is my cover is blown, my composure is gone when you come around
What I do know is that I can't keep my cool when you're around

I lose my cool whenever you're around
I become emotional and lose my composure whenever you are in my presence

I can't help myself, no uh uh
I can't control myself in your presence

Over again and again, hiding my feelings
This happens repeatedly, and I have to hide my true emotions

You make my heart stop then it beats again, I can not hide from these vibes that you send
You have a profound effect on me, and I cannot ignore the feelings you evoke in me

Oh why, oh why am I so into you, and why do I deny this cool I lose
I question why I am so drawn to you and why I try to hide my emotions

Can you blame me for losing my cool? I bounce as hard as Bronsen
Can you really fault me for losing control of my emotions? It's like jumping up and down uncontrollably

Every time you take the toe out your shoes, I be bawling with brotha's from your project apartment for talkin' slick wit you
Every time you take off your shoes, I get upset and argue with people from your neighborhood who disrespect you

Your fiance's corny, he don't got nutin' on me, I admit it, my plans was to skip when I
Your fiance is lame compared to me, I confess I was thinking of leaving town

But you reverse game now the doc is committed, exhibit the lyrics, the hard core definition got you wilding
But you changed my mind, now I am devoted to you. I display my lyrical prowess, and it excites you

Puffin' El's out your expedition, I seen yo' whole girl crew, I know they get jig, but you the quietest, and plus the rest of them got kids
You and your friends smoke marijuana in your car. I have met your friends, and they are all active, but you are quieter. Additionally, most of them have children

When yo I get your parts, whether they adore me, you know, my mix, you lie, don't front no poppy chulo
When we are together intimately, you enjoy it even though you act tough. I know you aren't telling the truth

I'm like Harold Melvin without the Blue Notes, I'm never going platinum, besides, the credit cards an underground action
I am like Harold Melvin (a lesser-known musician) without the Blue Notes (his band), and I will never be a platinum-selling artist. Furthermore, using a credit card is something that is not widely acceptable

Chorus
The chorus repeats the theme of the song: the singer struggles to control her emotions when the person she is attracted to is around
