Everybody's saying silly things
Without knowing that life brings a change
And they've been checking all the signs
(Checking all the signs)
My friends say I'm love sick 'cause I

All I keep thinking about is her in my arms
(Got to see what love is all about)
And I won't be the same until she is mine
And my friends keep telling me to

(Cool it now)
You got to cool it now
(Ooh watch out)
You're gonna loose control
(Cool it now)
You got to slow it down
(Slow it down)
You're gonna fall in love

Everyday I walk her home from school
And she tells me how she really feels
And there's no doubt in my mind
That this girl is one of a kind, no

'Cause all I keep thinking about is her in my arms
(Got to see what love is all about)
And I won't feel the same until she is mine
But my friends keep telling me to

(Cool it now)
You got to cool it now
(Ooh watch out)
You're gonna lose control
(Cool it now)
You better slow it down
(Slow it down)
You're gonna fall in love

All I keep thinking about is her in my arms
(Got to see what love is all about)
And I'll never be the same until you are mine
And my friends keep telling me

When ya got a girl who takes her time
You must slow the pace you can't mess with her mind
If she feels the same she'll letcha know
Just prepare yourself or be ready to go

And I hope this message stays in your mind
'Cause you almost lost a girl who is right on time
There's one more thing that ya got to know
Just cool it down and stay in control

(Cool it now)
You got to cool it now
(Ooh watch out)
You're gonna lose control
(Cool it now)
You better slow it down
(Slow it down)
'Cause you're gonna fall in love baby

And all I keep thinking about is her in my arms
(Got to see what love is all about)
And I'll never be the same until you are mine, oh
Listen to me let me tell you

Why you all coming down on me
Tryin' to tell me how my life is supposed to be
I know you're only trying to help me out
Tryin' to show me what life is really about

But this time I'm gonna make it on my own
So why dontcha fellaz just leave me alone
Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky and Mike
If I like the girl who cares who you like

(Cool it now)
You got to cool it now
(Ooh watch out)
You're gonna lose control
(Cool it now)
You better slow it down
(Slow it down)
'Cause you're gonna fall in love

Cool it now slow it down
Cool it now slow it down
Cool it now
