Lyrics Be Cool - Joni Mitchell

Be Cool

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
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 tryin' to forget it
Be cool
Don’t get riled
Smile—keep it light
Be your own best friend tonight
And play it cool
Play it cool
Fifty-fifty
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
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
