she was smart

i showered her in diamonds

sprinkled her in gold

and all the red roses she could hold

making sure no compliment was spared

setting in the back of a black limosine

i flashed my charm and a whole lotta green

but that didn't get me anywhere

now when people ask me why she broke my heart

how she went and tore a good thing apart

i tell em that little girl was smart

yes

she was smart

well

she knew i wasn't in love as i looked

and i was still sitting on a little black book

with a few more pages i was working on

yeah

she had me pegged from my opening line

hoping i might prove her wrong over time

a girl like that only waits so long

now when people ask me why she broke my heart

how she went and tore a good thing apart

i tell em that little girl was smart

yes

she was smart

now when i ain't sowing my oats no more

she's the kinda girl i'll be looking for

i tell you that little girl was smart

and now when people ask me why she broke my heart

how she went and tore a good thing apart

i tell em that little girl was smart

yeah

she was smart
