Fountains Of Wayne
"Too Cool For School"


He walks alone under the big city lights 
He always knows just when the time is right 
He never shows what he's thinking he keeps it inside 
Because he's too cool for school 
He comes alive when the sun goes down 
He gets it right you know he's always down 
He keeps one eye open and his ear to the ground 
And he's too cool for school 

He's an operator 
he's a real player 
And if you mess with him 
You know you'll never win 
He's an instigator 
Enemy eliminator 
And when he knocks you better 
You better let him in 

He's got his own way of getting things done 
He's always looking out for number one 
Don't try to beat him cause he's already won 
And he's too cool for school
