Lyrics
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la-la-la
Busy rushing to and fro
Searching for it high and low
Trying to get what I think I want
Only to find out, I really don't
Got to go relax myself
I think I've overtaxed myself
Tired of all the stress and strain
I need a minute to rest my brain
And I'm (I'm just thinking 'bout cooling out)
Thinking 'bout cooling out (I'm just thinking 'bout cooling out)
Cooling out (I'm just thinking 'bout cooling out)
Cooling out (cooling out, cooling out)
I said I'm (I'm just thinking 'bout cooling out)
Just thinking 'bout cooling out (I'm just thinking 'bout cooling out)
Cooling out (I'm just thinking 'bout cooling out)
Cooling out (cooling out, cooling out)
I need a break from this routine
Tired of chasing this old tired dream
Too big a fool to catch a break
Lord knows I've had all I can take
I think I caught myself in time
And just before I lose my mind
I'm gonna take me a week or two
Do some of the things that I used to do
And I'm (I'm just thinking 'bout cooling out)
Thinking 'bout cooling out (I'm just thinking 'bout cooling out)
Cooling out (I'm just thinking 'bout cooling out)
Cooling out (cooling out, cooling out)
I said I'm (I'm just thinking 'bout cooling out)
Thinking 'bout getting out of here (I'm just thinking 'bout cooling out)
Right away (I'm just thinking 'bout cooling out)
Like today (cooling out, cooling out)
And spend some time with the one I love
And let her know that I still care
What would it mean if I had the whole world
And nobody in it to really even care?
And I'm (I'm just thinking 'bout cooling out)
Thinking 'bout cooling out (I'm just thinking 'bout cooling out)
Cooling out (I'm just thinking 'bout cooling out)
Cooling out (cooling out, cooling out)
Oh, I'm (I'm just thinking 'bout cooling out)
Thinking 'bout getting out of here (I'm just thinking 'bout cooling out)
Finding some sun (I'm just thinking 'bout cooling out)
Having some fun, yeah (cooling out, cooling out)
Spend some time with the one I love
Let her know I still care
What would it mean if I had the world
(And nobody in it that really cared?) Oh
Oh, I said I'm (I'm just thinking 'bout cooling out)
Thinking 'bout cooling out (I'm just thinking 'bout cooling out)
Cooling out (I'm just thinking 'bout cooling out)
Cooling out (cooling out, cooling out)
Tired of this feeling (I'm just thinking 'bout cooling out)
Tired of this feeling (I'm just thinking 'bout cooling out)
Got to get away sometime (I'm just thinking 'bout cooling out)
'Fore I lose my mind (cooling out, cooling out)
Please excuse me, while I quit
Gonna enjoy what I'm doing just a little bit
I said I'm thinking 'bout cooling out
Cooling out, cooling out
So tired of working this nine to five
Working and struggling, trying to stay alive (and now)
Somebody tell me what it's all about
When you ain't got time to do a little cooling out
I said I'm just thinking 'bout cooling out (oh, I'm)
(Just thinking 'bout cooling, cooling, cooling, cooling out) cooling out, cooling out
Don't you wanna go? I know you do (oh, I'm)
I can look at you (just thinking 'bout cooling, cooling, cooling, cooling out)
Tell that you need some cooling out, too
I said I'm just thinking 'bout cooling out (oh, I'm)
(Just thinking 'bout cooling, cooling, cooling, cooling out) cooling out, cooling out, yeah
Oh, oh (cooling out), you find all these things that you think you want
Working all of your life for a few toys and pawns (cooling out)
I said I'm thinking 'bout cooling out (just thinking 'bout cooling, cooling, cooling, cooling out)
Cooling out, cooling out
I said I'm just thinking 'bout cooling out (just thinking 'bout cooling, cooling, cooling, cooling out)
Cooling out, cooling out
Go away somewhere, find me a bed
Gonna lay down, children, gonna rest my head (cooling out)
Somewhere shady with my lady (oh, I'm)
Hey, baby, don't you wanna go? (Just thinking 'bout cooling, cooling, cooling, cooling out)
I said I'm thinking 'bout cooling out (oh, I'm)
Cooling out, cooling out (just thinking 'bout cooling, cooling, cooling, cooling out)
(Oh, I'm just thinking 'bout cooling, cooling, cooling, cooling out)
(Oh, I'm just thinking 'bout cooling, cooling, cooling, cooling out)
(Oh, I'm just thinking 'bout cooling, cooling, cooling, cooling out)
(Oh, I'm just thinking 'bout cooling, cooling, cooling, cooling out)
(Oh, I'm just thinking 'bout cooling, cooling, cooling, cooling out)
Hey, going to find me some peace and joy
'Cause too much work couldn't care less for ya
Oh, yeah, yeah (oh, I'm just thinking 'bout cooling, cooling, cooling, cooling out)
Cooling out, cooling out, yeah (oh, I'm just thinking 'bout cooling, cooling, cooling, cooling out)
Go away somewhere where I can party
And I'm gonna party, party hearty (cooling out)
Do some dancing, a little romancing (oh, I'm)
Having some fun, y'all (just thinking 'bout cooling, cooling, cooling, cooling out)
I'm gonna have me a ball
I said I'm-
