Words and Music by Margie Adam
You are a bundle of contradictions
I am a bundle of nerves
You are the model of self-possession
I am so muddled and stirred
You stand there unconcerned
I sit my stomach turned
And the maddening part is
You don’t know it
I would do anything if I could be cool
around you
Sign over everything if I could be cool
around you around you
Hopelessly awkward, that’s my name
Can’t think of anything groovy to say
I would do anything if I could be cool
around you.
I would try anything if I could be cool
around you
Fly in the face of impossible trials for you
Balance my checkbook to the dime
Show up at all my meetings on time
I would try anything if I could be cool
around you.
I’m wild about you
Don’t want to live without you
And everything about you
Well I doubt you miss the implications
As I said – I repeat…
I would do anything if I could be cool
around you
Sign over everything if I could be cool
around you
Hopelessly awkward, that’s my name
Can’t think of anything groovy to say
I would do anything if I could be cool
around you.
