lyrics

I tried hanging with the cool cats
Hoping a little bit of style would rub of on me
I tried picking up the sayings and saying em just right
Ohh but I did'nt like how they made my tongue feel
I tried the hip clubs
But I wasn’t getting in just like everybody else was
I tried everything I could think of, think of, think of

But heaven knows

I was born un cool
But i'm cool with it
Born un cool
But i'm cool with it
Born un cool
But i'm cool with it

I tried acting like I don’t care
About anything at all but it all got too much for me
I tried keeping with the trends
But I couldn’t keep up with the latest and greatest
Ohh it drove me around the bend
I tried the flat cap
But I could'nt pull it off just like everybody else had
I tried everything I could think of, think of, think of

But heaven knows

I was born un cool
But i'm cool with it
Born un cool
But i'm cool with it
Born un cool
But i'm cool with it
I'm cool with it
I'm cool with it

I tried covering my normal
Everyday life, trying to be something I thought that the world would like
And I lost sight
Of the man that I am
The only skin that fits me just right
Fits me just right

Heaven knows

I was born un cool
But i'm cool with it
Born un cool
But i'm cool with it
Born un cool
Im cool with it

I was born un cool
But i'm cool with it
Born un cool
But i'm cool with it
Born un cool
But i'm cool with it
Im cool with it
Im cool with it
Im cool with it
