[Verse 1]
No mistake about it
We're not trying to put you down
Offering suggestions
Bring you back around
Should somebody spell it out
Take you back to school
Giving you a heads-up:
You're wearing out your cool
[Verse 2]
Waltzing in, you work the room
Giving us your lip
But by the afternoon
Something else will be more hip
Muddied up the welcome mat
Rolled out by your crew
Wearing out your cool
Wearing out your cool
[Chorus]
Born to be with it
Now you don't get it
Wearing out your cool
Wearing out your cool
[Verse 3]
For the sake of argument
An itch you've gotta scratch
Your eggs are in one basket
Before the roosters hatch
You don't see a tiger trying to
Break into the zoo
Wearing out your cool
You're wearing out your cool
[Chorus]
Born to be with it
Now you don't get it
Wearing out your cool
Wearing out your cool
Giving you a heads-up
Wearing out your cool
