Lyrics

Cooler than me

by Mike Posner

If I could write you a song,

to make you fall in love,

I would already have you up under my arm.

I used to pull all my tricks,

I hope that you like this.

but you probably won't,

you think you're cooler than me.

You got designer shades,

just to hide your face and

you wear them around like,

you're cooler than me

and you never say hey,

or remember my name and

its probably 'cause,

you think you're cooler than me.

You got your high brow,

shoes on your feet,

and you wear them around,

like they ain't *nothing.

but you don't know,

the way that you look,

when your steps

make that much noise.

Shh, see I got you

all figured out,

you need everyone's eyes just to feel seen.

Behind your make-up nobody knows who you are, who do you think that you are?

If I could write you a song

to make you fall in love,

I would already have you up under my arm.

I used to pull all my tricks,

I hope that you like this

but you probably won't,

you think you're cooler than me.

You got designer shades

just to hide your face and

you wear them around like

you're cooler than me

and you never say hey

or remember my name.

It's probably 'cause,

you think you're cooler than me.

You got your high brow,

switching your walk,

and you don't even look when you pass by.

But you don't know

the way that you look

when your steps make that much noise.

Shh, see I got you

all figured out,

you need everyone's eyes just to feel seen.

Behind your make-up nobody knows who you are,

who do you think that you are?

'Cause it sure seems

('Cause it sure seems)

You got no doubt

(That you got no doubt)

But we all see

(We all see)

You got your head in the clouds

(Clouds)

If I could write you a song

and make you fall in love,

I would already have you up under my arm.

I used to pull all my tricks,

I hope that you like this

but you probably won't,

you think you're cooler than me.

You got designer shades

just to hide your face and

you wear them around like

you're cooler than me

and you never say hey,

or remember my name.

It's probably cause

you think you're cooler than me.

Comments

Amy, 16:

YL: Do you think anyone is cooler than you?

A: Haha, besides my little sister Robyn, nope.

YL:To whom would you compare Mike Posner and why?

A: Bruno Mars. They're both hot and their music is awesome.

YL: For how long do you think you'll listen to this song before you get tired of it?

A: Months, maybe weeks, depends on my mood.

Brandon, 18:

YL: What message do you get from this song?

B: Personally, I think he's saying that the girl in the song is too superficial and she craves attention to make herself feel loved.

YL: Do you think that message will reach many or only a few?

B: (laughs) Few because some people tend to just listen to a song for the sake of listening and not taking it in depth.

YL: What message would you give the girls who read this?

B: Be yourself and know that natural beauty is better than designer.
