You wanne be -
Girl you keep on coming back

And you made me the fool now
Crying over you

The Aggrolites’ song “Keep it Cool” is a tune that talks about a man who is trying to move on from a relationship with a woman who keeps coming back to him. The lyrics describe the man being resolute in his decision to not go back to her and to not let her push him over the edge. The chorus emphasizes the importance of staying cool and refusing to engage in emotional outbursts such as crying, whining, or fuzzing. The man declares that he will not allow the woman to make a fool of him again and chooses to stand his ground.
The song is an anthem for anyone who is struggling with a toxic or complicated relationship and is choosing to prioritize their emotional well-being by staying calm and collected instead of letting their emotions run amok. It encourages people to set boundaries and to stick to them even when they feel like breaking.
