Clever Girls

Who am I to try and understand

I tried for years and I hardly can

I'm looking up but I get let down

Got pushed back and then I figured it out

I take the bait like unexpecting prey

I should know it's always just the same

I wise up each time we go around

Give me time to try and figure it out

First they're sweet but then comes the sour

Taking all that they can devour

I'd run a hundred miles an hour

To get away, get away, but then they come

Right back at me straight for the feelings

Fighting everything I believe in

Oh my god it feels like the season

For clever girls, clever girls, and dumber boys

Let me see what you're working with

Seventeen is when you learned the tricks

Here I am underneath your thumb

How I know that the end has begun

Circle back to what I said before

What's the point in trying anymore

You would've thought that I'd learn by now

Give me time to try and figure it out

First they're sweet but then comes the sour

Taking all that they can devour

I'd run a hundred miles an hour

To get away, get away, but then they come

Right back at me straight for the feelings

Fighting everything I believe in

Oh my god it feels like the season

For clever girls, clever girls, and dumber boys

First they're sweet but then comes the sour

Taking all that they can devour

I'd run a hundred miles an hour

To get away, get away, but then they come

Right back at me straight for the feelings

Fighting everything I believe in

Oh my god it feels like the season

For clever girls, clever girls, and dumber boys
