Lyric Playin It Cool

(J. D. Souther/T. B. Schmit/J. Leo/V. Melamed)

It s a long hot afternoon
Staring at the same old books
Teacher says you ll be out soon
But, she don t know how long it looks
You wanna get outside
You wanna go for a ride
And start playin it cool
They tell you graduate
But, I just can t wait
To start playin it cool
Pretty girls everywhere
Walkin up and down the hall
Then you see her standing there
Leaning up against the wall
She could be dying to dance
You got to take that chance
On playin it cool
You better tell her twice
Cuz she s a little too nice
She s got to play it cool
Play it cool
Play it cool

One more afternoon
Starin at the parking lot
I hope I get out soon
Cuz summertime is all we got
You did the hardest part
Now it s time to start
Playin it cool
Nobody really knows
That s the way it goes
When you re playin it cool
Play it cool
Play it cool
C-O-O-COOL

You wanna get outside
You wanna go for a ride
And start playin it cool
They tell you graduate
But, I just can t wait
To start playin it cool
We did the hardest part
Now it s time to start
Playin it cool
Nobody really knows
That s the way it goes
When you re playin it cool
Playin it cool
Uou got to play it cool
Playin it cool
