She Was Smart

I tell 'em that little girl was smart, yes, she was smart
I tell you that little girl was smart

Well, she knew I wasn't in love as I looked
I tell 'em that little girl was smart, yes, she was smart
Sittin' in the back of a black limousine
Makin' sure no compliment was spared
I flashed my charm and a whole lotta green

How she went and tore a good thing apart?
How she went and tore a good thing apart?

With a few more pages I was workin' on
Now when people ask me, why she broke my heart?
But that didn't get me anywhere
Hopin' I might prove her wrong over time
She's the kinda girl I'll be lookin' for
Now when people ask me, why she broke my heart?
A girl like that only waits so long
And I was still sittin' on a little black book
And now when people ask me, why she broke my heart?
How she went and tore a good thing apart?
Now when I ain't sowin' my oats no more

Yeah, she had me pegged from my openin' line
