But I can choose To make it right! Pre-Chorus One little breath… Two little beats… Three little words… Then I speak! Chorus Keep my cool! (Ooh, yeah!) Keep my cool! (That's right!) Breathe and think, Then I choose! Keep my cool! (Hey, hey!) Keep my cool! Big feelings come, But I choose what I do! Post-Chorus Breathe! (Breathe!) Think! (Think!) Speak! (Speak!) That's my thing! Verse 2 I can say, "Hey, I don't like that!" Use my words, And take a step back. I can be strong, I can be kind. I get to choose What's on my mind!
