Too Clever By Half Lyrics - Couples - The Long Blondes

Too cleaver by half 

I know your only doing what comes naturally (x2) 

Oh you, you and her a pretty girl 

You both plan to leave your lovers 

And run off with each other 

And leave us to look like fools 

Oh you, you said I know I've been unkind 

And you swore blinded it was the last time you'd ever leave a girl behind 

But how did she know you were telling the truth? 

Oh you thought you were clever 

You thought you were smart 

But you were just too clever by half 

But you were just too clever by half 

while you were making plans I was going with her man 

Then we left you to be clever 

To be clever together 

Oh you, you thought that you were pretty smart 

But when you and her were out I would go round to his house 

And I don't have to tell you what we did next 

No I don't have to tell you what we did next (x3) 

But you're not so clever now 

Oh you thought you were clever 

You thought you were smart 

But you were just too clever by half 

But you were just too clever by half 

while you were making plans I was going with her man 

Then we left you to be clever 

To be clever together 

I know your only doing what comes naturally (x4)
