Play Acting Cool

All of my life I found it hard to fit in
Not feeling comfortable within my own skin

Didn't do well in school, trying not to be a fool

It was the hardest thing to do, Play Acting Cool.

The service draft me from a boy to a man
Just eighteen, I'll try the best that I can
Had to pretend I knew, what I never learned in school
It was the hardest thing to do, Play Acting Cool

Married a sweetheart from my high school day's
Started a job, I had to change my old ways
Receding hair line came, the divorce happened all the same
It was the hardest thing to do, Play Acting Cool

Ain't it funny how the world has to change
Looking back I know I've done just the same
Not always wanting to, kicking and fighting through
Life get's hard for me to do, when I Played Acting
Cool

I met a gal who loves as I am
She gives me something that I never had
The right to be wrong, the strength to carry on
I don't have to be a fool, Play acting Cool
