She Was Smart

I showered her in diamonds, sprinkled her in gold

And all the red roses she could hold

Makin' sure no compliment was spared

Sittin' in the back of a black limousine

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 sittin' on a little black book

With a few more pages I was workin' on

Yeah, she had me pegged from my openin' line

Hopin' 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 sowin' my oats no more

She's the kinda girl I'll be lookin' 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, yes, she was smart
