[Intro]
This is for the cool...

This is for the cool...
This is for the cool...
This is for the cool...
This is for the cool...

[Verse 1]
Here we go round and round and round
And back and forth you know
Everybody goes through it sometime
And that's just the way it flows
So we go up and down and up
And in and out the door
Even though you know you've been through it before

[Pre-Chorus]
For every argument that we've experienced
It's nice to know that you've remained composed
And I wanna thank you, yeah, for the chill in you
Especially for you being so cool
This is for the cool in you

[Chorus]
Cool in you, cool in
This is for the chill in you
Cool in you, cool, cool, cool, cool
This is for you cool in you
Cool in you, cool in
This is for the chill in you
Cool in you, cool, cool, cool, cool

[Verse 2]
Looking on back at all the changes
That I put you through
Any other girl in your position
Sho-nuff would've been through
Thinking about how you made it easy
Always there for me
Never once did you turn your back and leave

[Pre-Chorus]
For every tear you've cried
I've cried a thousand times
Never once did I want you to hurt inside
I wanna thank you, girl, for the chill in you
Especially for you being so cool
This is for the cool in you

[Chorus]
Cool in you, cool in
I said this is for the chill in you
Cool in you, cool, cool, cool, cool
I said this is for you cool in you
Cool in you, cool in
I said this is for the chill in you
Cool in you, cool, cool, cool, cool

This is for the cool...
This is for the cool...
This is for the cool...

[Pre-Chorus]
For every tear you've cried
I've cried a thousand times
Never once did I want you to hurt inside
I wanna thank you, girl, for the chill in you
Especially for you being so cool
This is for the cool in you

[Chorus]
Cool in you, cool in
I said this is for the chill in you
Cool in you, cool, cool, cool, cool
I said this is for you cool in you
Cool in you, cool in
I said this is for the chill in you
Cool in you, cool, cool, cool, cool

Yeah, this is for the cool in you, baby
Cool in you, cool in
I said this is for the chill in you
Cool in you, cool, cool, cool, cool
I said this is for you cool in you, yeah
Cool in you, cool in
I said this is for the chill in you
Cool in you, cool, cool, cool, cool

I said play it

Cool in you, cool in
Cool in you, cool, cool, cool, cool

Come on, come on, I said play it

Cool in you, cool in
Cool in you, cool, cool, cool, cool
Cool in you, cool in
Cool in you, cool, cool, cool, cool
Cool in you, cool in
Cool in you, cool, cool, cool, cool
Cool in you, cool in
Cool in you, cool, cool, cool, cool
Cool in you, cool in
Cool in you, cool, cool, cool, cool

Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds (born April 10, 1959 in Indianapolis, Indiana) is a Grammy Award-winning producer, singer, and songwriter responsible for a string of hits in the 1980s and 1990s. He has written and produced more than 20 number-one hits and won 11 Grammys—including three for Producer of the Year—for his work with Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, Eric Clapton, Alicia Keys, and Toni Braxton, as well as his own work as an artist.

Babyface got his nickname from funk legend Bootsy Collins after joining his backing band in the 1970s. He joined the group Manchild in the late ‘70s—a group that also included his frequent collaborator Daryl Simmons—before moving out West and working with the group The Deele in the early 1980s, forming a bond with his bandmate and future production partner L.A. Reid. After producing the hit “Two Occasions” for The Deele, L.A. & Babyface broke off and became one of the biggest superproducer duos in R&B, rivaling the hits of fellow superproducer duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.

L.A. & ‘Face had their hands in a string of #1 R&B hits in the late '80s and early '90s from artists such as Pebbles (“Girlfriend”), Karyn White (“Superwoman”), The Whispers (“Rock Steady”), Johnny Gill (“My, My, My”) and many more. They were also instrumental in the success of post-New Edition era Bobby Brown as they produced his #1 hits “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Every Little Step,” “On Our Own,” and “Humpin' Around.” They made history with Boyz II Men in 1992 as they wrote and produced “End of the Road,” which spent a record-breaking 14 consecutive weeks atop the pop chart.
