The Long Blondes » Too Clever By Half Lyrics

I 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 fools

Oh 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 was 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 half

While you were making plans I was going with her man, then we left you to be clever, to be clever together

Oh 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 next

No 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 half

While you were making plans I was going with her man, then we left you to be clever, to be clever together

I know your only doing what comes naturally [x4]
