she was smart lyrics

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
