Lyrics of Smart in a stupid way

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
