I used to wonder why the songs on the radio
Always seemed to be about love
If you look every book, every TV show
Is just full of that stuff

They write about it, talk about it
Inside and out
They even cry about it for crying out loud
Ah, but now that I've got it, I get it now

It ain't cool to sing love songs
But I'm singing one to you
It ain't cool to sing love songs
But I'm giving one to you

And if you laugh at me, that's how it's gonna be
'Cause I'm doin' it, yes it's true
Ah, 'cause now that I've got it, love is cool
The way folks go on and on about it

They're gonna wear the word out
And every time you see a poor fool fall in it
That's all he talks about
I never understood why the subject of love

Was the biggest thing around
Ah, but now that I've got it, I get it now
Love is cool, love is cool, baby
And oh, yeah, what's a poor boy
What's a poor boy to do, yeah
