She Was Smart Lyrics - Tracy Byrd

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
