lyrics

She was childlike in her aspirations
In a way, she wanted to save the world
She saw no reason she couldn't have it all
And you can't reason with little girls

I guess she needed to find someone
Who allowed her to believe
That there's no difference, there is no distinction
Between what you want and what you need

I can almost understand
Why she'd be drawn to such a fool
But you don't know what it means to be a man
And I've never been cool

I tried cast off all my worries
Throw my troubles to the wind
Roam the countryside in search of my own happiness
But that's not who I am

I can almost understand
The draw of breaking all the rules
But you don't know what it means to be a man
And I've never been cool

I had hoped my struggle wouldn't go unnoticed
My efforts not be put to waste
Only to find that I had shouldered the wrong burden
All of my energies misplaced

I never held a winning hand
Came up short a time or two
I've taken what I've had
And I've done the best I can
But I've never been cool

You'll never know what it means to be a man
And I'll never be cool
