[Intro]
Baby, oh yeah
Baby, oh yeah

[Verse 1]
You don't ever bring no drama to the game
And my drama don't be scaring you away
You dont ever talk too much
(Exactly just enough)
You know how and when and where and what to say
It ain't like I gotta tell you you're so fine (you're so fine)
You been gettin' complements since you was nine
It's like your perfect (you're flawless)
A diamond in the rough
I knows you give me nothin' else but love (love)

[Chorus]
You are such a mad sexy cool girl
How does someone turn into you, girl
How do you explain
What you do
What you say
How you be
How you play
How you love
Every day
How you're constantly the same
How you give
Never hate
And you don't ever change
Be consistently that way
You're a mad sexy cool girl, and I love you that way
Baby, ooh...

[Verse 2]
You be ruling with a certain shade of cool (shade of cool)
I don't know nobody half as fresh as you
I be checkin' your behavior
Oh baby, you got so much flavor
Sometimes I wanna call you juicy fruit (juicy)
It ain't like I gotta tell you you're a star (you're a star)
You be shining and be sparkling in the dark
Girl, you're so perfect (you're flawless)
You my diamond in the rough
I know you give me nothin' else but love (love)

[Chorus]
You are such a mad sexy cool girl
How does someone turn into you, girl
How do you explain
What you do
What you say
How you be
How you play
How you love
Every day
How you're constantly the same
How you give
Never hate
And you don't ever change
Be consistently that way
You're a mad sexy cool girl, and I love you, say...

[Bridge]
How does someone
So beautiful
So approachable
None so adorable
Baby, you're some kind of wonderful
My dream come true

[Chorus]
You are such a mad sexy cool girl
How does someone turn into you, girl
How do you explain
What you do
What you say
How you be
How you play
How you love
Every day
How you're constantly the same
How you give
Never hate
And you don't ever change
Be consistently that way
You're a mad sexy cool girl...

You are such a mad sexy cool girl
How does someone turn into you, girl
How do you explain
What you do
What you say
How you be
How you play
How you love
Every day
How you're constantly the same
How you give
Never hate
And you don't ever change
Be consistently that way
You're a mad sexy cool girl
(You're a mad sexy cool girl, baby)

How does someone turn into you, girl
How do you explain
What you do
What you say
How you be
How you play
How you love
Every day
How you're constantly the same...

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.
