Stevie Wonder - be cool, be calm

사랑하는 여자친구와의 이별로 인해 깊은 슬픔을 겪고, 어머니의 조언을 기억하며 자신을 다잡고자 노력하는 주인공
눈물을 닦고 미소를 지으며 세상과 맞서려 하지만, 여전히 깊은 그리움이 남아 있음을 표현하고 있다
결국, 슬픔 속에서도 강해지려는 의지를 담고 있다

Woo!
Girl, I've been crying ever since you left
My mama told me, "Get a hold of yourself"
And be cool, calm and keep yourself together
She said be cool, calm and keep yourself together, ha ha ha, ha
Sugar plum, you're really gold
And it just don't help to cry
So I wiped my tears away the other day
And hung my handkerchief up to dry
Then I changed my style, puttin' on a smile
And went out to face the world
The smile I wear see, ha, I don't care that I just lost my girl
But I still get that old yearnin'
Can't be cool when my heart is burnin'
I still get that old feelin'
Can't be calm when my head is reelin'
I say mother dear, see here, see here
Tell me now what shall I do
Can't have that girl and I love her true
She said when things get rough, be man enough
To be cool, calm, and keep yourself together
That's what my mama said
Be cool, calm, and keep yourself together, ha ha
