Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How do you retain your cool, babe?
Seems your love breaks all the rules, hey, hey, hey
You may think that I'm a pro, but I can never seem to keep my control
How can you stand to take things so slow? Ooh
[Chorus]
Look at you (Yeah)
You're so smooth (Oh)
When I'm around you
I can't keep my cool (Hey, yeah)
Look at you (Hey)
You're so smooth (Oh)
When I'm around you (Hey)
I can't keep my cool (Mmm)
[Verse 2]
I'm so used to getting what I want
When I want it and where I want it
In your field, I'm inexperienced, so inexperienced, oh
Hey, baby, I'm delirious, ooh
[Chorus]
Look at you (Hey)
You're so smooth (Oh, oh)
When I'm around you (Yeah, oh)
I can't keep my cool (Oh-oh)
Look at you (Oh, yeah)
You're so smooth
Oh, you're so smooth
When I'm around you (Yeah)
I can't keep my cool (Oh, ooh)
I can't keep my—
Oh, yeah, yeah, ooh, yeah
[Verse 3]
So just like you, I keep my cool, yeah
When you're around
When you're around, I won't be the fool, yeah
You may think that I don't know, but all the things I want are in my control
How can you stand to take so slow? Hey, hey, hey (Ooh)
[Chorus]
Look at you
You're so smooth (Hey)
When I'm around you (Oh)
I can't keep my cool
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Look at you (Oh, no)
You're so smooth (Oh)
When I'm around you (Hey, hey)
I can't keep my cool
Look at you
You're so smooth (Hey)
When I'm around you (Oh)
I can't keep my cool (Oh, hey)
Look at you (Ah, ah)
You're so smooth (Ah, ah)
When I'm around you (Hey)
I can't keep my cool (Oh, baby)
Look at you
You're so smooth (Yeah, oh)
When I'm around you (Oh)
I can't keep my cool (Oh, oh)
Look at you
You're so smooth
When I'm around you
So smooth, so smooth
I can't keep my cool (Ooh)
Look at you (Hey)
You're so smooth (Hey, hey)
When I'm around you (Oh)
I can't keep my cool (Hey)
Look at you
You're so smooth
When I'm around you
I can't keep my cool (Ooh)
