Mr. Wise Guy Lyrics


Who'd ever guess to look at her?
They say she's a dancer but they don't fool me
You thought you knew it all, cos you'd been there
Thought she was a flirt you didn't know herYou kissed the girls and made them cry
You thought you would be only "Hello-Goodbye"
But now a twist of love has changed your world
Till I kissed her I was just another wise guyYou thought you were so cool
(Wise guy)
You had all the right movesYou said "beware she'll break your heart"
She's about to turn around and prove you wrong
You thought you had the map, she's off the chart
Try to keep up with her if you're such a wise guyHer kisses gave you the clue
(Wise guy)
And now you know what to doDidn't gamble, never won a prize
Rush to judgement and you pay the price
How could you presume to be qualified
If it bit you wouldn't recognise it!You said love was for fools
(Wise guy)

Then she broke all your rulesWho'd ever guess to look at her
They she's a teaser but they can't fool me
Because I met my match when I met her;
Hast la vista Mr wise guyYou misjudged her so eat humble pie
Your opinion wasn't justified
You were cautious, you'd been hurt inside
Wouldn't risk it so you just criticised herYou said love was for fools
(Wise guy)
But love knows better than you
(Wise guy)You thought you were so cool
(Wise guy)
But now we know who's the fool
(Mr Wise guy)

Robert Allen Palmer (January 19, 1949 – September 26, 2003), born in Batley, Yorkshire, England, was a British singer. He was known for his soulful voice and the eclectic mix of musical styles on his albums, combining soul, jazz, rock, reggae, blues, and even yodeling.

His eighties hits were promoted by particularly striking award winning videos, featuring an all-female, black-clad backing band. The memorable videos, directed by Terence Donovan, featured heavily on MTV and played a large part in his transatlantic success.
