Anonymous  +  954920 Wed, 28 Oct 09 03:34 AM I have two questions about the song, "I'm yours" by Jason Mraz. I did google it, but it seems that people have different definitions about it. I just got bewildered. Could somebody help me?  Thank you in advance.   Part of its lyrics is as follows:   Well you done done me and you bet I felt it I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted I fell right through the cracks and now I'm trying to get back Before the cool done run out I'll be giving it my bestest Nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention I reckon its again my turn to win some or learn some   What does "done done me" in line one mean?   What does "cool done run out" in line five mean?   Anonymous
