[Verse 1] 
She said "I never want to leave you but I gotta go" 
And then she left me for a reason that I'll never know 
But I don't mind 
I'm feeling fine 
My mama told me all the things that I already know 
Sometimes I feel it in my bones just like an animal 
She's on my mind 
I guess I'm not alright 
But... 
 
[Pre-Chorus] 
I've been through this shit so many times 
And I can't deny 
I'll give you one more try 
I'm hoping things go differently this time 
'Cause she could be right 
She could be right 
 
[Chorus] 
Mama told me "Play it cool" 
But I can't help if I'm a fool 
And in my mind there's only you 
'Cause happy endings I can't choose 
I guess I'll play it cool 
 
[Verse 2] 
She says you're going way too fast, you gotta take it slow 
This love is like a plant, we gotta let it grow 
And I said "Why?" 
"Sounds like a waste of time" 
I'm getting tired of tryna be what you want me to be 
But mama told me that I can't keep playing hide and seek 
She's on my mind 
I'm not gonna lie 
But... 
 
[Pre-Chorus] 
I've been through this shit so many times 
And I can't deny 
I'll give you one more try 
I'm hoping things go differently this time 
'Cause she could be right 
She could be right 
 
[Chorus] 
Mama told me "Play it cool" 
But I can't help if I'm a fool 
And in my mind there's only you 
'Cause happy endings I can't choose 
I guess I'll play it cool 
 
[Outro] 
I call the same old things so many times 
Some things in life 
You just can't rewind 
Things don't seem to change although I try 
And I know why 
And I know why
