After Hi School

Seems like nothing's ever gonna change in my world
Every day is more the same old thing, yeah
But in the spring, I'm gonna graduate from hi school
Then I won't have 2 live by anybody else's rules
Everybody tells me things don't stay the same
If U wanna live, U gotta play the game

And they say - "Hey U, what U gonna do after hi school? (Hi school)
Hey U, what U, what U gonna do?" (Hi school)
And they say - "Hey U, what U gonna do after hi school? (Hi school)
Hey U, what U, what U gonna do?" (Hi school)

But there's a lot of stuff that I could learn 2 do in my world
Learn 2 drive a truck or maybe even join a band
My parents tellin' me I got 2 go 2 college
I won't get anywhere if I don't have the knowledge
Uncle Sam keeps sending letters in the mail
If U don't register, U're gonna go 2 jail, gonna go 2 jail

"Hey U, what U gonna do after hi school? (Hi school)
Hey U, what U, what U gonna do?" (Hi school)
And they say - "Hey U, what U gonna do after hi school? (Hi school)
Hey U, what U, what U gonna do?" (Hi school)

Listen 2 me, listen 2 me!
Hey U, what U gonna do? {x2}

Cool

I got a penthouse in Manhattan
2 more in Malibu
I bought a '87 Cadillac Seville
Girl, I got a Mazerati 2
I wear diamonds on my fingers
I got a couple on my toes
I wear the finest perfume money can buy
It keeps me smellin' like a rose

If U wonder how I do it
There's just one simple rule
I'm just cool (Cool)
Oh oh - Honey, baby can't U see?
Girl, I'm so cool (Cool)
Ain't nobody bad like me, hey

(C-O-O-L) What's that spell?
(C-O-O-L)

I might dine in San Francisco
Dance all night in Rome
I go any freakin' place I want 2
And my lear jet brings me home (Listen darlin')
I got ladies by the dozens
I got money by the ton
Just ain't nobody better
Heaven knows that I'm the one

And it's all because of something
That I didn't learn in school
I'm just cool (Cool)
Cool - Honey, baby can't U see?
Girl, I'm so cool (Cool)
Cool - Ain't nobody bad like me

Sing it, baby
(C-O-O-L) What's that spell?
(C-O-O-L) That spell cool

(Cool) Cool
Sweeter than sex
(Cool) That spell cool
(Cool) Cool
So what U think?
(Cool) Cool

What time is it? Ooh

Listen baby, it takes a lot of lovin' and a little money
2 be a friend of mine
But baby, if U know how 2 shake that thing
I'll try 2 squeeze a little time
Cuz I make love, love every mornin'
2 who's ever by my side
Well, U might say that I'm a nymphomaniac
But it keeps me satisfied

When I look into the mirror
It just tells me something I already know
I'm so cool (Cool)
Cool - Honey, baby can't U see?
Girl, I'm so cool (Cool)
Cool - Ain't nobody bad like me

Sing it
(C-O-O-L) What's that spell?
(C-O-O-L) What time is it?

And I'm so cool (Cool)
Band

(C-O-O-L) {x2}
Cool, that's right
I'm cooler than Santa Claus, baby
Oh, mm hmm
Ain't nobody bad like me
Somebody pinch me
I must be dreamin'
I know that's right, honey
Cuz there ain't nobody bad like me
What time is it?
Is it time 2 get my hair done yet?
I said, "What time is it?"
Time 2 just walk and shake my head
I'm cool 'til I'm dead
Enough has been said
Come on, baby, let's go 2 bed
Everybody
Walk, shake my head
Cool 'til I'm dead
Enough has been said
Let's go 2 bed

When I look into the mirror
It just tells me something I already know
I'm so cool (Cool)
Ain't nobody bad like me
Oh, I'm so cool (Cool)

Oh, Baby

Oh baby, we're all alone
Nowhere 2 go, no telephone
Just U and me and this big ole bed
U ain't got nowhere 2 go
U might as well stop being so cool
Honey, baby, break down

Oh baby, take off your clothes
Do it over by the window
Feel the wind blow
That's the atmosphere
Ooh baby, come here

Oh, baby (Oh no no)
Oh, baby

Oh baby, honey, take your time
Cuz when U come, U come and come
That's when I get mine
Until then, I said honey, "Close your eyes"

Oh, oh no
