You think you’re so smart you think that you’d throw my heart
Don’t at your feet every time that you walk by
But I, I got news for you cause I don’t care for you and
I don’t care honey if you love me or not
If you were half as smart as you think you are
The world would be a-standing at your door
But I, I won’t be there cause I no longer care and
I don’t want you around me anymore

Because you can’t have your way you tell me every day
I should grow up stop acting like a child
But I, I think its you that’s got some growing to do
And honey I think its gonna take you quite a while

If you were half as smart as you think you are
The world would be a-standing at your door
But I, I won’t be there cause I no longer care and
I don’t want you around me anymore
