Song Lyrics

If there's one rule to this game
Everybody's gonna name
It's "be cool"
If you're worried or uncertain
If your feelings are hurtin'
You're a fool if you can't keep cool
Charm 'em
Don't alarm 'em
Keep things light
Keep your worries out of sight
And play it cool, play it cool
Fifty-fifty, fire and ice
(Fire and ice, fire and ice, fire and ice, fire and ice)

If your heart is on the floor
'Cause you've just seen your lover
Comin' through the door with a new fool
Be cool
Don't you sweat it
Start right in right now
Trying to forget it
Be cool
Don't get riled
Smile, keep it light
Be your own best friend tonight
Play it cool, play it cool
Fifty-fifty, fire and ice
(Fire and ice, fire and ice, fire and ice, fire and ice)

Don't get jealous
Don't get over-zealous
Keep your cool
Don't whine
Kiss off that flaky valentine
You're nobody's fool
Be cool, fool, be cool
(Lots of other fish in the sea)

Play it cool, play it cool
Fifty-fifty, fire and ice
(Fire and ice, fire and ice, fire and ice, fire and ice)

So if there's one rule to this game
Everybody's gonna name
It's "be cool"
If you're worried or uncertain
If your feelings are hurtin'
You're a fool if you can't keep cool
They want you to
Charm 'em
Don't alarm 'em
Keep things light
Keep your worries out of sight
And play it cool, play it cool
Fifty-fifty, fire and ice
(Fire and ice, fire and ice, fire and ice, fire and ice)
