Can't Keep My Cool

(album: Durand Jones & The Indications - 2018)

When I first met you, baby
My heart, it skipped a beat
Just like mama's old-time melodies
It lift me out my seat
I've been the life of the party
And I've known just what to say
But those eyes got me stammering, Lord
When you, you come my way

And I don't know what I'm s'pose to do
I'm hooked, got to get close to you

But I can't keep my cool
I can't keep my cool
Around you
Yeah, I can't keep my cool

From the first day I saw you, baby
To the day that we wed
Our love's grown stronger, baby
Since those two words we said
Now that I'm older
You'd think I'd learn a thing or two
But your light grows brighter, baby
And my knees still go weak over you
And you know I still feel the same
Every time you call out my name

But I can't keep my cool
I can't keep my cool
Around you
I can't keep my cool
And I can't keep my cool
Baby, oh, I can't keep my cool
Around you
I can't keep my cool

And I don't know what I'm s'pose to do
I still lose my head over you
