(this is for you Melinda, I hope you like it)

they oughta teach this in school,
it's not always cool to be cool,
you try to play you for a fool.
like you see a girl whose you meet,
it's a treat, cause she sweet
and she really seems to knock ya off your feet.

you wanna say hey, but you don't.
your mum says tell her how you feel but you won't.
cause you're just too cool to tell her truly,
get ya feelings out there and then really don't try to school me.

so she passes you by in the hallway,
you're staring at the wall tryna play while i say,
yeah you're cool,
really cool slick just like ice,
but ya didn't realise that you never get this chance twice.

so you're busy playing cool now she's gone,
gone until another while I sing my funky song.
I never pass up a chance,
I know this story seems long,
but when I know the time is right for me and you I just...
flame on! flame on...and on and on and on.
flame on!
flame on...yeah, yeah.
flame on, and on and on and on and on. flame on, I just flame on.
