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
