Shy Of The Cool
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.
I can't believe, finally,
She's tryna' break out of her shell
She's adamant to achieve
The worlds her oyster you could never tell
She's so authentic, so unsuspected
This girl can go to school and be respected
Her expression is smile not a frown
Goes home and its upside down
Walks through the door, this little miss, she's creeping
Knowing a sound would get her beaten
Why oh why is the girl still weeping
Can see anything cos' she feels she's just a..
She's just a few degrees shy of the cool
Gotta change the rules, yeah
She's just a few degrees shy of the cool
Gotta change the rules, yeah
I'll find away, is what you'll say
Those words still rotate in my head
I sit there, thinking, how i can turn this around
What you gonna do when the hurt turns physical
Sending you a message that is so subliminal
Positions so hard to get out
Jls here to break it down
When you gonna step up and leave your devotion
To the cause, you'd be fully rewarded
Walk around with a smile not a frown,
Jls here to break it down
She's just a few degrees shy of the cool,
Gotta change the rules, yeah
She's just a few degrees shy of the cool,
Gotta change the rules, yeah
It's like he's dying, this guy cant stop crying
All his hurt and lying
Cos he's shying away
He's really trying
He's worried about that timing
All this hurt and lying,
Cos he's shying away
You don't understand why
I'm the way i am
Wanna tell you but i can't
(i wanna tell you but i can't)
It's hard enough being a mess
Then i'll do what i can
Guess that's the way i am, i am
She's just a few degrees shy of the cool,
Gotta change the rules, yeah
She's just a few degrees shy of the cool,
Gotta change the rules, yeah (3x)
It's like he's dying, this guy can't stop crying
All his hurt and lying
Cos he's shying away
He's really trying
He's worried about that timing
All that hurt and lying.
