Too Clever by Half

Too cleaver by halfI know your only doing what comes naturally (x2)Oh you, you and her a pretty girl

You both plan to leave your lovers

And run off with each other

And leave us to look like foolsOh you, you said I know I've been unkind

And you swore blinded it was the last time you'd ever leave a girl behind

But how did she know you were telling the truth?Oh you thought you were clever

You thought you were smart

But you were just too clever by half

But you were just too clever by halfwhile you were making plans I was going with her man

Then we left you to be clever

To be clever togetherOh you, you thought that you were pretty smart

But when you and her were out I would go round to his house

And I don't have to tell you what we did nextNo I don't have to tell you what we did next (x3)But you're not so clever now

Oh you thought you were clever

You thought you were smart

But you were just too clever by half

But you were just too clever by halfwhile you were making plans I was going with her man

Then we left you to be clever

To be clever togetherI know your only doing what comes naturally (x4)
