Lyrics
Too Cool for School
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He walks alone
Under the big city lights
He always knows
Just when the time is right
He never shows what he's thinking
He keeps it inside
Because he's
Too Cool for School
He comes alive
Oh, when the sun goes down
He gets it right
You know he's always down
He keeps one eye open
And his ear to the ground
And he's
Too Cool for School
He's an operator
He's a real player
And if you mess with him
You know you'll never win
He's an instigator
Enemy eliminator
And when he knocks you better
You better let him in
He's got his own way
Of getting things done
He's always
Looking out for number one
Don't try to beat him
Cause he's already won
And he's
Too Cool for School
He's an operator
He's a real player
And if you mess with him
You know you'll never win
He's an instigator
Enemy eliminator
And when he knocks you better
You better let him in
He walks alone
Under the big city lights
He always knows
Just when the time is right
He never shows what he's thinking
He keeps it inside
Because he's
Too Cool for School
Because he's
Too Cool for School
Because he's
Too Cool for School
