lyrics

i fell in love with a bookstore girl
and the gospel she was reading
i never had the heart
to tell her i was leaving

a summer spent on streets
i never learned their names
under streetlights
oh the way her face would change

but i can only play it cool for a little while
i'll be a fool all my life
i can only play it cool for a little while
but i'm all yours tonight

she puts her hair up
shows me the tattoo on her leg
she’s got what i want
but i don’t have to beg

"ask my past lovers,
least the ones that really knew me,
you don't gotta take off my clothes
to see right through me"

yeah i can only play it cool for a little while
i'll be a fool all my life
i can only play it cool for a little while
but i'm all yours tonight

i fell in love with a bookstore girl
and the gospel she was reading
i never had the heart
to tell her i was leaving
