Be Cool, Be Calm (And Keep Yourself Together)

Whoo!
Girl Ive been cryin ever since you left
My mama told me get a hold of yourself
And be cool, calm and keep yourself together
She said be cool, calm and keep yourself together , ha ha ha, ha
Sugar plum youre really gold
And it just dont help to cry
So I wiped my tears away the other day
And strung my handkerchief up to dry
Then I changed my style puttin on a smile
And went out to face the world
The smile I wear see, ha, I dont care that I just lost my girl
But I still get that old yearnin
Cant be cool when my heart is burnin
I still get that old feelin
Cant be calm when my head is reelin
I say mother dear see here, see here
Tell me now what shall I do
Cant have that girl and I love her true
She said when things give up be manly
Now to be cool, calm, and keep yourself together
Thats what my mama said
Be cool, calm, and keep yourself together, ha ha
Sugar pie you said goodbye
And I cried myself to sleep
Thats when my mother said dont lose your head son
It just dont help to weep
Now Im the great pretender
I dont surrender to what I feel inside
Im the life of the crowd, and ha, I left my blood
But its all a fake disguise
Cause I still hear my heart poundin
Hard to be cool when you come around me
I still feel my heart purrin
Hard to be calm when my insides stirrin
I say mother dear see here, see here
Tell me now which wayto go
Cant have that girl and I love her so
She said whenever youre blue, whatever you do
Be cool, calm, and keep yourself together
Thats what my mama said
Be cool, calm, and keep yourself together
