[Verse 1]
You're so well-spoken, have control when
You walk into the room, you show them
You're outside smokin', your skin is glowin'
You're like an angel, out of this world
I love your confidence you strike
I wanna dip into your life
You float around without a care
I love your steeze and what you wear
[Pre-Chorus]
And I stay at home most of the time
You're so badass, owning the night
So badass
[Chorus]
Fuck, I wish I could be like you (I really do)
Fuck, I wish I could be cool like you (Cool like you)
I say stupid stuff (Yeah, yeah)
And embarrass myself ('Cause I'm dumb)
I'm not very cool (Yeah)
It sucks, I suck, I want to be like you (You're cool)
I say stupid stuff (Stupid stuff)
And I embarrass myself (Yeah, yeah)
[Post-Chorus]
C-cool, c-cool, cool
C-cool, c-cool, cool
Cool like you
C-cool, c-cool, cool
C-cool, c-cool, cool
[Verse 2]
I'm mesmerised by what you say
But you don't know that I exist
People can't keep themselves away

[Pre-Chorus]
And I stay at home most of the time
You're so badass, owning the night
So badass
[Chorus]
Fuck, I wish I could be like you (I really do)
Fuck, I wish I could be cool like you (Cool like you)
I say stupid stuff (Yeah, yeah)
And embarrass myself ('Cause I'm dumb)
I'm not very cool (Yeah)
It sucks, I suck, I want to be like you (You're cool)
I say stupid stuff (Stupid stuff)
And I embarrass myself (Yeah, yeah)
Kool was written by BENEE & Josh Fountain & Djeisan Suskov.

I was imagining this woman walking into a party scene with a red velvet coat or something glamorous, and everyone’s like, ‘Oh my god, she’s amazing.’ It was inspired by a couple artists I follow who come off as effortlessly cool and so confident, and they always say the right things in interviews.
