[Verse 1]
You're so well-spoken, have control when
You walk into the room, you show them
You're outside smokin', your skin is glowin'
You're like an angel, out of this world
I love your confidence you strike
I wanna dip into your life
You float around without a care
I love your steeze and what you wear

[Pre-Chorus]
And I stay at home most of the time
You're so badass, owning the night
So badass

[Chorus]
Fuck, I wish I could be like you (I really do)
Fuck, I wish I could be cool like you (Cool like you)
I say stupid stuff (Yeah, yeah)
And embarrass myself ('Cause I'm dumb)
I'm not very cool (Yeah)
It sucks, I suck, I want to be like you (You're cool)
I say stupid stuff (Stupid stuff)
And I embarrass myself (Yeah, yeah)

[Post-Chorus]
C-cool, c-cool, cool
C-cool, c-cool, cool
Cool like you
C-cool, c-cool, cool
C-cool, c-cool, cool

[Verse 2]
I'm mesmerised by what you say
But you don't know that I exist
People can't keep themselves away
Like they're under some kind of spell

[Pre-Chorus]
And I stay at home most of the time
You're so badass, owning the night
So badass

[Chorus]
Fuck, I wish I could be like you (I really do)
Fuck, I wish I could be cool like you (Cool like you)
I say stupid stuff (Yeah, yeah)
And embarrass myself ('Cause I'm dumb)
I'm not very cool (Yeah)
It sucks, I suck, I want to be like you (You're cool)
I say stupid stuff (Stupid stuff)
And I embarrass myself (Yeah, yeah)

BENEE

Stella Rose Bennett (born 30 January 2000), known professionally as BENEE (formerly Bene), is a New Zealand singer-songwriter who debuted in December 2017 with “Tough Guy.” Music had always been part of her life, with a family history in theatre. BENEE’s first instrument was a saxophone, playing it for several years, along with the guitar.

BENEE started posting music to Soundcloud in her final year of high school (2017), catching the attention of producer Josh Fountain. The pair went on the work together in several of her singles, including break-out single “Soaked” which was featured on triple j’s hottest 100 (2018).

After spending two weeks in a communications course at the Auckland Institute of Technology, Benee realised she wanted to be making music full-time.
