Cooler Than Me Lyrics
(Thanks to Megan for these lyrics and to starlight for these corrections)
If I could write you a song,
and make you fall in love,
I would already have you up under my arm.
I used to pull all my tricks,
I hope that you like this.
but you probably won't,
you think you're cooler than me.
(Thanks to Megan for these lyrics and to starlight for these corrections)

There are a few things wrong with these lyrics as written. In 3 different
places, it should be, "I used to parlor my tricks", not 'paul all my". Plus,
there is another line after "That I think you're fine", which is "But I'm
finer. Shine her".
