Lyrics
Verse 1:
You had it made, your little game was working out so well.
She couldn?t tell, you thought that nothing that you did would show.
One day it happened, when you didn?t come home ?til late.
She wasn?t home, now you?re standing there all alone.
Chorus 1:
If You?re So Smart,
why do you feel like the one with the broken heart?
If you?re so sure,
how come the girl you love just walked out your door?
If you know so much,
don?t you know she can feel it in your touch?
It just fell apart, ?cause You?re So Smart.
Verse 2:
You had her fooled, it shouldn?t come as such a big surprise.
Your little lies, you never learned about the Golden Rule.
One day it happened, when you didn?t come home ?til late.
She wasn?t home, now you?re standing there all alone.
Chorus 2:
If You?re So Smart,
why do you feel like the man with the broken heart?
If you?re so bad,
why did you just lose the best girl you ever had?
If You?re So Smart,
don?t you know she can tell it in your kiss?
You just lost your heart, ?cause You?re So Smart.
