I see that look in your eyes girl
From across the room
That you're leadin' me in
I can't deny that I want you
So I make my way up to you
No...
I see that ring on your finger
Tellin' me that I shouldn't linger
It's such a shame
A disaster
That it has to be this way

But if it was cool
It would be me and you
Think of all the nasty things we could do
That would be something
But only if it was cool
But it ain't though

Tell me would he mind if I kissed ya?
While he's at home watchin' ESPN
An if I took you home would he miss you?
Well it don't matter
Cause I dont get down that way
If you were mine would you do this to me?
While I'm at home watching reruns of Dragnet
With a bottle of Hennessey?
Would you be ashamed when you saw me?
And what would you say?

But if it was cool
It would be me and you
Think of all the nasty things we could do
That would be something
But only if it was cool
But it ain't though

'Twas so nice to meet ya
Now I'll try to treat ya
The best I could
Like a true gentleman should
Now I've gots to leave you
Here or there I just might see ya
I'll be around
Same bat time,same bat channel
You know the station

If it was cool
It could be me and you
Think of all the nasty things we could do
That would be something
But only if it was cool
If it was cool
If it was cool
If it was cool
That would be something
But only if it was cool
But it ain't though
