Cool my heels when the heat is on
Slow my wheels when it feels so wrong
Fool themselves but they won't fool me
Who else is gonna make them see?

Everything is moving way too fast
There's only one way that I'm gonna last
I've got to cool my heels, cool my heels
I've gotta cool my heels when the heat is on

Cool my heels before I lose control
This devil deal is 'bout to take my soul
It's like the garden and the apple tree
Same old temptation keeps a haunting me

Everybody's got something to say
But I'm the one that's got to pay some day
Unless I cool, cool my heels, cool my heels
Cool my heels when the heat is on

All these cars racing around the corner
Although we know we're fast
I'm not gonna worry about it
I'm gonna let them pass

Cool my heels when the heat is on
Slow my wheels when it feels so wrong
Full themselves but they won't fool me
Who else is gonna make them see?

Everything is moving way too fast
There's only one way that I'm gonna last
I've got to cool my heels, slow my wheels
Cool my heels when the heat is on

Cool my, cool my heels
I've got to cool my heels
Cool my, cool my heels
Got to, got to cool my heels
Cool my heels when the heat is on
