Shy Of The Cool

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.
