She had eyes like crazy diamonds
??? Feet of clay
They hold the windows down as they were going
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 youre 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 ??
The dreams pull away
Sometimes I smell the perfume that she was wearing on that day
And I wonder if theres anyone I?ll ever love in any way
Maybe I?ll grow up and be good someday
And maybe this pain I feel will go away
And this is the price that you pay
For being smart in 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 that?s the same
And why is my love so far away
And this is the price that you pay
For being smart in stupid way
You stand there staring while your lover walks away
Being smart in a stupid way
