Lyrics[]
Come on, come on, come on
I see you standin' in your wolf t-shirt
I said to God, "make this man take away the hurt"
You smile, you say, "baby, don't you know
There's a reason God made you so beautiful?"
Denim on denim, blue on blue
Have I ever told you, "I love you?"
But I do, sugar, I do, I do, I do
But I just don't know how to go
You're so cool, babe
You're so cool, babe
Can you help me?
You're so cool
Can you help me? Can you help me?
Can you help me?
You're so cool, you're so cool
Can you help me? Ah
You're so cool
Baby, what I like about you, you, you
Is your nails that you wear up to Timbuktu
With American flags on each little finger
Didn't make my eyes stray and linger
