[Verse 1]
Cross my heart, and hope to die
I lose my virginity here tonight
Don't you get it? I'm desperate, it's time

Cool, alright, c-cool, alright, I'm fine
Cool, alright, c-cool, alright
[Verse 2]
You want dramatic? Then I will give you dramatic
In high school, hid in the closet and then I died in the attic
And when the bullies all found me, they called me a maggot

It takes a certain kind to satisfy my type

[Chorus]
Like cool, alright, c-cool, alright, I'm fine
Cool, alright, c-cool, alright, I'm good
Cool, alright, c-cool, alright, I'm fine
Cool, alright, c-cool, ALRIGHT (ALRIGHT)
