I showered her in diamonds
Sprinkled her in gold
And all the red roses she could hold
Makin' sure no compliment was spared

Settin' in the back of a black limosine
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 opening 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 ya
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
Yeah she was smart
