Be Cool, Be Calm (And Keep Yourself Together) – Stevie Wonder
By
Girl I’ve been crying ever since you left My mama told me get a hold of yourself and Be Cool, Be Calm And Keep Yourself Together She said Be Cool, Be Calm And Keep Yourself Together
Sugar plum you really gone And it just don’t help to cry So I wipe my tears away the other day And hung my handkerchief up to dry
Then I changed my style put on a smile And went out to face the world The smile I wear say ha I don’t care That I just lost my girl
But I still get that old yearning Can’t be cool when my heart is burning I still get that old feeling Can’t be calm when my head is reeling
I say, Mother dear, see here see here Tell me now what shall I do Can’t have that girl and I love her true She said but babes give up be man enough
To Be Cool, Calm And Keep Yourself Together That what my mama said Be Cool, Calm And Keep Yourself Together
Sugar pie you said goodbye And I cried myself to sleep That’s when my mama said Don’t loose your head son It just don’t help to weep
Now I’m the great pretender I don’t surrender To what I feel inside I’m the life of the crowd And ha I love fun lots But it’s a big disguise
‘Cause I still hear my heart pounding Hard to be cool when you come around me I still hear my heart purring Hard to ne calm when my inside’s stirring
I say, Mother dear, see here see here Tell me now what way to go Can’t have that girl and I love her so She said whenever you’re blue whatever you do
Be Cool, Calm And Keep Yourself Together That what my mama said Be Cool, Calm And Keep Yourself Together Maintain yourself
