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 dayShe 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 wayAnd 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 dayAnd 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 awayAnd 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 waySo 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
