People say I'm cool Ya, I'm a cool chick, baby Every day I thank God That I'm such a cool chick, baby
When I'm on the phone, I thank God My voice sounds smooth and clear without a trace of tear When I'm at work, I thank God I still have that smile Ma used to say lit her day
But something inside me Something inside me died that day
People say I'm cool Ya, I'm a cool chick, baby Every day I thank God That I'm such a cool chick, baby
When I'm with people, I thank God I can talk hip when I'm crying inside When I'm with friends, I thank God I can light a cigarette when I'm choking inside
People say I'm cool Ya, I'm a cool chick, baby Every day I thank God That I'm such a cool chick, baby
A friend lent me shades so I could Hide my eyes that day Was a snowy day, the shades have seen A lot of things, I didn't want to know myself
Was like an accident, part of growing up People tell me
But something inside me Something inside me died that day
What do you do? What can you do? What do you do? What can you do?
