Playing It Cool

Timothy B Schmit Playing It Cool Lyrics
1.Playin' It Cool

(j. d. souther/t. b. schmit/j. leo/v. melamed)

It's a long hot afternoon
Staring at the same old books
Teacher says you'll be out soon
But, she don't know how long it looks
You wanna get outside
You wanna go for a ride
And start playin' it cool
They tell you graduate
But, i just can't wait
To start playin' it cool
Pretty girls everywhere
Walkin' up and down the hall
Then you see her standing there
Leaning up against the wall
She could be dying to dance
You got to take that chance
On playin' it cool
You better tell her twice
'cuz she's a little too nice
She's got to play it cool
Play it cool
Play it cool

One more afternoon
Starin' at the parking lot
I hope i get out soon
'cuz summertime is all we got
You did the hardest part
Now it's time to start
Playin' it cool
Nobody really knows
That's the way it goes
When you're playin' it cool
Play it cool
Play it cool
C-o-o-cool

You wanna get outside
You wanna go for a ride
And start playin' it cool
They tell you graduate
But, i just can't wait
To start playin' it cool
We did the hardest part
Now it's time to start
Playin' it cool
Nobody really knows
That's the way it goes
When you're playin' it cool
Playin' it cool
Uou got to play it cool
Playin' it cool


2.Lonely Girl

(j. leo)

Everytime that she looks away
Somebody's leaving her
The price she pays
An empty room
A broken heart
She should have seen it
Coming right from the start
She could take your heart away with her smile
She could make your dreams come true in style
Won't somebody please go and stay for awhile

With the lonely girl
The lonely girl tonight
Happens all the time
To the lonely girl
The lonely girl tonight
Happens all the time to her

Some other guys have left her before
She won't be taking their calls anymore
A woman's love
A teenage heart
She's had enough of this
Tearin' apart
She could take your heart away with her smile
She could make your dreams come true in style
Won't somebody please go and stay for awhile

With the lonely girl
The lonely girl tonight
Happens all the time
To the lonely girl
The lonely girl tonight
Happens all the time to her

Lonely girl
With the lonely girl
Lonely girl
She's just a lonely girl


3.So Much In Love

(w. jackson/r. straigis/g. williams)

As we stroll along together
Holding hands, walking all alone
So in love are we two
That we don't know what to do
So in love
In a world of our own

As we stroll by the sea together
Under stars twinkling high above
So in love are we two
No one else but me and you
So in love
So much in love
So in love
So much in love

We stroll along together
I tell you i need you oh so much
I love, love you my darling
Can you tell it in my touch

When we walk down the aisle together
We will vow to be together 'til we die
So much love have we two
Just can't wait to say "i do"
So in love
Are you and i
So in love
Are you and i


4.Something's Wrong

(t. b. schmit/v. melamed/j. leo)

I got this feelin' in my bones
Something's wrong
Very wrong
You don't say nothin'
Nothin' at all, baby
Come on
Come on

You look at me so tenderly
What can i do
What can i do
The situation is plain to see, baby
I need you
I need you

There's something between you and me
That we both got to work on
We love each other so desperately
So desperately
Something's wrong

I got this feelin'
Something's wrong
Very wrong
I got this feelin'
Something's wrong
Very wrong


5.Voices

(t. b. schmit)

Take me to the open range
Follow me if you dare to believe in
What can be
If we see
All that is given you and me

When you feel there is no change
Pardon me if i stare, i don't mean to
Be unkind
Please don't mind
I thought that we kept better time

Every morning i get a little crazy
Gets hard to face the light of day
But you see i'm just too damn lazy
Turn your head but don't walk away

Come with me for just awhile
Know that i wish to share and believe in
What can be
If we see
All that is given you and me


6.Wrong Number

(t. b. schmit/m. towers/s. strong)

You're telling me this
Telling me that i'm oughta hand
Well maybe it's this
Maybe it's that you don't understand
Keep on talking to me
You're loud as thunder
I don't matter baby
'cuz i think you got the wrong, wrong number

You know i talk in my sleep
You got me worried and weak
I can't take it
'cuz everytime that you shout
Baby there ain't no doubt
Got to shake it
Why can't ya
Why can't ya let it be
It brings me under
You live a fantasy
Don't you think you got the wrong, wrong number

I don't mean to sound too rough
But you know better
I've had enough
My telephone rings and it's you on the line
But my love's unlisted don't you waste my time

You got the wrong number
Baby check it and see
Think you got the wrong number
Instead of living in doubt
Why don't you figure it out
Why can't ya
Why can't ya let it be
It brings me under
You live in a fantasy

Don't you think you got the wrong number
Baby check it and see
Think you got the wrong number
Instead of living in doubt
Why don't you figure it out


7.Take A Good Look Around You

(t. b. schmit/k. koch)

Take a good look around you
Do you see what i do
Take a good look around you
'cuz i'll be gone
I'll be gone

Since you came here with your pretty eyes
I ain't been the same
You try to fill my head with all those lies
While you're flirting with some other guy
When i'm here with you
Every thought was just for you
Now face the facts baby
There is only one thing for you to do

Take a good look around you
Do you see what i do
Take a good look around you
'cuz i'll be gone
I'll be gone

Sometimes i wonder if you're made of stone
'cuz you don't say a word
It makes me feel like i'm all alone
Why should i lose everything
When you lose nothing
Every thought was just for you
Now face the facts baby
There is only one thing for you to do

Take a good look around you....


8.Tell Me What You Dream

(v. melamrd/j. leo/t. b. schmit)

All of your life
You hold out for love
You give what you have
Still that's not enough
What went wrong
'cuz now what we share
Is too many fears
Too many secrets
Too many years denied

Tell me what you dream at night
While you're sleeping
Tell me what you see at night
When you dream
Is it someone else's arms that hold you tight
Or darling, is it me
Tell me what you dream at night
While you sleep

Deep in the night
You whispered so low
I lay by your side
I felt so alone, alone
I reached for your arms
You called out a name
It wasn't my own
It caused me such pain inside

Tell me what you dream at night
While you're sleeping
Tell me what you see at night
When you dream
Is it someone else's arms that hold you tight
Or darling is it me
Tell me what you dream at night
While you sleep


9.Gimme Some Money

(j. leo/t. b. schmit)

Nine to five
Shuck and jive
Keeping up and image
Trying not to let it show
Talking this
Talking that
Talking what they're given
I've taken all i need to know

Just gimme the money
Gimme the dough
Gimme the money
Money's all i want to know

Current times
Welfare lines
Making just a little
Things are getting mighty rough
Up and down
Jerked around
Always in the middle
I think it's time to call your bluff

Just gimme the money
Gimme the dough
Gimme the money
Money's all i want to know

You keep making it hard
I should be taking it easy
I could be taking it easy
I need to make a withdrawl

First degree
Prophecy
A fighting education
Ticket to the human race
Up in arms
Sound alarms
Senates on vacation
I know just how to solve the case

You keep making it hard
I should be taking it easy
I could be taking it easy
I need to make a withdrawl

Money money
All i need to know
Money money
All i want to know
Money money
All i need
