Love at first sight... Happens every night.
I'm too cool for my dress
These shades don't leave my head
Everything you say is so irrelevant
You follow and I lead
You wanna be like me
But you're just a wanna-be
Love it or hate it
Ooooh
I can't help the way I am
Hope you don't misunderstand
But I'm too cool (too cool)
Yeah I'm too cool
To know you
Don't take it personal
Don't get emotional
You know it's the truth
I'm too cool for you
You think you're hot,
But I'm sorry you're not exactly who
You think you are
Can't tell you what
That I haven't got
But when we walk into the room
I'm too cool for you
Lucky I'm so nice
Even I'm surprised
You are still allowed to be in my crew
Show you how it's done
If you wanna be someone
Just watch here,
And you'll learn some
Me, myself and I agree
You'll never catch up with me
'Cause I'm too cool
Yeah I'm too cool to know you
Don't take it personal,
Don't get emotional
You know it's the truth
I'm too cool for you
You think you're hot,
But I'm sorry you're not exactly who
You think you are
Can't tell you what
That I haven't got
But when we walk into the room
I'm too cool for you
See some are born with beauty, brains, and talent
And they've got it all
While others have to try all their lives
Still they never get the call
That's the difference between you and me
Obviously
I'm a natural
I'm the real deal
Oooooh
I can't help the way I am
Hope you don't misunderstand
But I'm too cool
Too cool
Yeah I'm too cool
To know you
Don't take it personal
Don't get emotional
You know it's the truth
I'm too cool for you
Too cool (too cool)
Yeah I'm too cool to know you
Don't take it personal
Don't get emotional
You know it's the truth
Its too late
It's too late for tears
Cause you know tonight one thing is clear
I could sit at home and cry
Useless as it is
Or I can try to love again
I'll be too cool
Too cool for words
Too cool, to ever get hurt, too cool
It's a lesson I've learned from you
You've got to be (cool)
So long to yesterday
Goodbye is the price you pay
You think that I was the fool
But baby, you broke all the rules
Not too (cool)
I'm all right, I'll soon be better
Cause you know
Heart aches don't last forever
You went and left me cold
Searching for somebody new
But you'll come home
And when you do
I'll be, too cool
Too cool for words
Too cool, to ever get hurt, too cool
It's a lesson I learned from you
Got to be cool
Too cool
Too cool for words
Got to be cool
I like it best when she cries
The tears roll down from her eyes
I take her in my lovin' arms
And I pretend she's mine again
Can't you see
When you mistreat her she runs to me
When you mistreat her she comes to me
Her love was mine 'til she met you
You threw her down for someone new
You make her sad it makes me glad
She runs to find the love she had
Can't you see
When you mistreat her she runs to me
When you mistreat her she comes to me
You're such a fool why can't you see
You're driving her back home to me
And when you mistreat her she runs to me
When you mistreat her she comes to me
I like it best when she cries
The tears roll down from her eyes
I take her in my lovin' arms
And I pretend she's mine again
Can't you see
When you mistreat her she runs to me
When you mistreat her she comes to me
When you mistreat her
When you mistreat her
When you mistreat her
When you mistreat her
When you mistreat her
When you mistreat her
When you mistreat her
When you mistreat her
I'm too cool for my dress, these shades don't leave my head
Everything you say is so irrelevant

But you're just a wannabe, love it or hate it

But I'm too cool, too cool
Yeah, I'm too cool to know you
Don't take it personal, don't get emotional
You know it's the truth I'm too cool for you
You think your hot but I'm sorry you're not
Exactly who do you think you are?
Can't tell you what that you haven't got
When we walk into the room I'm too cool for you
You're lucky I'm so nice, even I'm surprised
You are still allowed to be in my crew
I'll show you how it's done if you wanna be someone

Too cool, too cool
Yeah, I'm too cool to know you
Don't take it personal, don't get emotional
You know it's the truth I'm too cool for you

Welcome to Nellyville, where all newborns get a half-a-mill'
Sons, get the tan DeVille, soon as they can reach the wheel
And daughters, get diamonds the size of their age - help me out now
One year get one carat, two years get two carats
Three years get three carats, and so on into marriage
Nobody livin average, everybody jang-a-lang
Nobody livin savage, e'rybody got change
Even the paperboy deliver out the back of a Range
It's not a game, it's a beautiful thang
Imagine blocks and blocks of no cocaine, blocks with no gunplay
Ain't nobody shot, so ain't no news that day
Ain't nobody snitchin, they refuse to say
Every month - we take a vote on what the weather should be
And if we vote it rains - know how wet we want it to be
And if we vote it snow - know how deep we want it to get
But the sun gon' shine 99 percent, in Nellyville
[Chorus]
There's no.. way.. I.. I could explaiiiiin..
the way I feel right now
There's no.. way.. I.. I could explaiiiiin..
the way I feel about livin in Nellyville
[Nelly]
I got that good at e'ry gas station, pull on up
Give me a half a ounce of that shit, fill it up
We got straws for the bottles, outlaw the cups
And we gon' make it happen, ain't no need for no luck
Ain't no lotteries, no pick 3's or pick 2's
Keep the money in your family, gamble amongst your crew
Cause the dice gon' do what the dice gon' do
And if you take a life, you gon' lose yours too
Ain't no trials, it's automatic, you drop 'em right where it happen
You do unto others if you don't want it don't do the cappin
Think that's cool 40 acres and a mule
Fuck that! Nellyville - 40 acres and a pool
Six bedrooms, full bath with a jacuzz'
Six-car garage, pavement smooth
Both front and back deck 'nough room to land a jet
And you ain't reached the city, that's just the projects
[Chorus]
[Nelly] Everybody, uh, now everybody say
[Interlude]
Well I want to go, please let me go
I need to go - down to Nellyville
I need to see, what I can say
Won't you and me - go to Nellyville
I want to go, so bad
I just want to go and look
Won't you please take me on in
I just know I gotta be there
[Nelly]
No unexpectancy, like teenage pregnancy
And physical mental attraction your only ecstasy
Your own destiny, create your own recipe
If you ain't livin accordin to dirty then you stressin me
'And who are you' Who me I'm the mayor
And any problems you got, I live up thurr
'Where's that' The house on the hill, welcome mat of fur
When you pass by that thang, be polite and don't sturr
[Chorus]
..
[Outro]
Yeah
There's no.. way.. yeah
There's no.. way.. yeah
There's no.. way.. yeah
There's no.. way..
