You cut it, curl it, die it blonde
You line your lips and paint it on
And order what he's drinking
Tryin' to figure out what he's thinking
You work the room, you hold his hand
Laugh along with all his friends
The whole while you're wishin'
You could just get his attention
You ain't gotta be the cool girl
If he don't want you he's a fool girl
You just gotta be you girl
Don't change one single thing
When you finally find the right guy
The can't believe you're really mine guy
He'll be looking right at you girl
Like you hung the moon girl
Yeah you'll know it's true girl
When you ain't gotta be the cool girl
You get nervous, you get shy
In a crowd, in the lights
So what you doin' dancin'?
Why you trying to impress him?
You lose yourself in that dress
You're feeling "no" but you're sayin' "yes"
Yeah, you shouldn't have to try so hard
To win somebody's heart
You ain't gotta be the cool girl
If he don't want you he's a fool girl
You just gotta be you girl
Don't change one single thing
When you finally find the right guy
The can't believe you're really mine guy
He'll be looking right at you girl
Like you hung the moon girl
Yeah you'll know it's true girl
When you ain't gotta be the cool girl
Love ain't gotta be
Some popularity contest
You ain't gotta be the cool girl
If he don't want you he's a fool girl
You just gotta be you
Just gotta be you
Just gotta be you
When you finally find the right guy
The can't believe you're really mine guy
He'll be looking right at you girl
Like you hung the moon girl
Yeah you'll know it's true girl
When you ain't gotta be the cool girl
You aint gotta be the cool girl
