Smart In A Stupid Way Lyrics - Ashlee Simpson

She had eyes like crazy diamonds 

And you ran with feet of clay 

They rolled the windows tight as they would go 

It was a smoggy day 

She looked up and asked me if I ever had a lover that I did not betray 

And I turned on the radio and I looked the other way 

She said, you're smart but in a stupid way 

And this is the price that you pay 

For being smart in a stupid way 

You stand there staring while your lover walks away 

Being smart in a stupid way 

The doors they close like eyelids 

The train just pulled away 

Sometimes I smell the perfume that she was wearing that day 

And I wonder if there's anyone that I'll ever love in any way 

Maybe I'll grow up and be good someday 

Maybe this pain I feel will go away 

And this is the price that you pay 

For being smart in a stupid way 

You stand there staring while your lover walks away 

Being smart in a stupid way 

So why is my heart so hollow? 

And why are my dreams so shallow? 

And why don't I ever have anything else to say? 

And why is my love so far away? 

And this is the price that you pay 

For being smart in a stupid way 

You stand there staring while your lover walks away 

Being smart in a stupid way
