Girl I've been crying ever since you left
|
My mama told me get a hold of yourself and
|
Be Cool, Be Calm And Keep Yourself Together
|
She said
|
Be Cool, Be Calm And Keep Yourself Together
|
|
Sugar plum you really gone
|
And it just don't help to cry
|
So I wipe my tears away the other day
|
And hung my handkerchief up to dry
|
|
Then I changed my style put on a smile
|
And went out to face the world
|
The smile I wear say ha I don't care
|
That I just lost my girl
|
|
But I still get that old yearning
|
Can't be cool when my heart is burning
|
I still get that old feeling
|
Can't be calm when my head is reeling
|
|
I say, Mother dear, see here see here
|
Tell me now what shall I do
|
Can't have that girl and I love her true
|
She said but babes give up be man enough
|
|
To Be Cool, Calm And Keep Yourself Together
|
That what my mama said
|
Be Cool, Calm And Keep Yourself Together
|
|
Sugar pie you said goodbye
|
And I cried myself to sleep
|
That's when my mama said
|
Don't loose your head son
|
It just don't help to weep
|
|
Now I'm the great pretender
|
I don't surrender
|
To what I feel inside
|
I'm the life of the crowd
|
And ha I love fun lots
|
But it's a big disguise
|
|
'Cause I still hear my heart pounding
|
Hard to be cool when you come around me
|
I still hear my heart purring
|
Hard to ne calm when my inside's stirring
|
|
I say, Mother dear, see here see here
|
Tell me now what way to go
|
Can't have that girl and I love her so
|
She said whenever you're blue whatever you do
|
|
Be Cool, Calm And Keep Yourself Together
|
That what my mama said
|
Be Cool, Calm And Keep Yourself Together
|
Maintain yourself
|
