(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

This is for you, Melinda

(Oh, oh oh)

I hope you like it

(Oh, oh, yeah, oh)

Oh!

They ought to teach this in school

It's not always cool to be cool (What?)

You try to play you for a fool

Like, you see a girl who's unique

It's a treat, 'cause she's sweet

And she really seems to knock you off your feet

And you wanna say "hey", but you don't. (You don't)

Your mom says "Tell her how you feel", but you won't

'Cause you're just too cool to tell her truly

That your feelings are getting unruly

Don't try to school me. (No)

So she passes you by in the hallway

You're starin' at the wall

Trying to play while I say

Yeah you're cool. (What?)

Really cool, slick, just like ice

But you didn't realize you'd never get this chance twice

So you'rе busy playing cool

Now she's gone. (She's gonе, no!)

Gone onto another while I sing my funky song

I'd never pass up the chance, I know the story seems long

But when I know the time is right for me and you I just...

Flame on, flame on, and on, and on, and on

Flame on, flame on. (Yeah) Yeah, flame on, flame on, and on, and on, and on, and on. Flame on, I just flame on
