Yeah, woah
Yeah, yeah
How do you retain your cool, babe?
Seems your love breaks all the rules, hey, hey
You may think that I'm a pro
But I can never seem to keep my control
How can you stand to take things so slow? Ooh
Look at you (yeah)
You're so smooth (oh)
When I'm around you
I can't keep my cool (hey, yeah)
Look at you (hey)
You're so smooth (oh)
When I'm around you (hey)
I can't keep my cool (mmm)
I'm so used to getting what I want
When I want it and where I want it
In your field, I'm inexperienced
So inexperienced, oh
Hey, baby, I'm delirious, ooh
Look at you (hey)
You're so smooth (oh, oh, hey)
When I'm around you (yeah, oh)
I can't keep my cool (oh-oh)
Look at you (oh, yeah)
You're so smooth (oh, you're so smooth)
When I'm around you (yeah)
I can't keep my cool (oh, ooh)
Oh, oh
I can't keep my— (yeah, I can't)
Oh, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh
Yeah, hey
Hey, oh
Yeah, oh
Oh
So just like you, I keep my cool, yeah
(When you're around)
When you're around, I won't be the fool, yeah
You may think that I don't know
But all the things I want are in my control
How can you stand to take so slow?
Hey, hey, hey, ooh
Look at you
You're so smooth (hey)
When I'm around you (oh)
I can't keep my cool (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Look at you (oh, no)
You're so smooth (oh)
When I'm around you (hey, hey)
I can't keep my cool
Look at you (oh)
You're so smooth (hey)
When I'm around you (oh)
I can't keep my cool (oh, hey)
Look at you (ah, ah)
You're so smooth (ah, ah)
When I'm around you (hey)
I can't keep my cool (oh, baby)
Look at you
You're so smooth (yeah, oh)
When I'm around you (oh)
I can't keep my cool (oh, oh)
Look at you (you're so smooth)
You're so smooth (you're so smooth)
When I'm around you (so smooth, so smooth)
I can't keep my cool (ooh)
Look at you (hey)
You're so smooth (hey, hey)
When I'm around you (oh)
I can't keep my cool (hey)
Look at you (oh)
You're so smooth
