lyrics

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO BE COOL

don't worry i got it down
i practice a lot in front of the mirror
im drivin my car around
i feel like a kid im drinkin my beer

no one want's t ride with me
should i give it away for free?
i need a grlfriend - hows he gonna get one?
someone t like me - nobody likes him

i play all the video games
kids starin at me they make fun of my haircut
i offer t buy the booze
they're laughin at me
they say im a loser

i can't seem t get it right
stumble around in the dark of the night
i smoke a number - face is all red
kids are laughin at me - what has he said?

i don't know how t be cool
im never sure of the way im actin
i don't know how t be cool
what would i do in the right situation
i don't know how t be cool
im never sure of the way im actin
i don't know how t be cool
im never sure if i make the wrong impression...on you

i worry a lot you know
my body is weak my brain is on zero
i still want t ask her out
im poundin my head in front of the mirror

i try t light a cigarette
smoke jes gets my eyes all wet
somebody tell me - what you wanna know?
how'm i gonna make it - never gonna get there
