First you think you are clever, and later they choose
To shoot you with a small camera and claim that it's you
Next time you look in my mirror, so what do you see?
Perfectly shattered ideas, is it good to be me?
Perfectly shattered ideas, is it good to be me?
Perfectly shattered ideas, is it good to be me?
You played cool, had a round, that was then and this is now
You played cool, come around, that was then and this is now
Soon you left it like parties and part-time affairs
Soon you left it like parties and part-time affairs
Later you wish to have children and colour your hair
Later you wish to have children and colour your hair
Then you fear to get over love, you stumble and pray
What will you say?
For something that lasts for ever, though nothing will stay
For something that lasts for ever, though nothing will stay
For something that lasts for ever, though nothing will say

You play it cool, hang around
That was then and this is now
You play it cool, I'm coming round
That was then and this is now
Is there something more you've found?
La, la, la, la, la, la
You play it cool
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
That was then and this is now
You play it cool, I love the sound
That was then and this is now
Ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha
