But you're so smart, dressed like we want you to
Got a big heart, show it off at parties too
Talking so smart but who do you think you're talking to
C'mon back, love, there's so much more left to do
Did you hear about the new trends of the cool kids stuck at dead ends
Sometimes I wish I was you, and they do too and they do too
Forget them, the world's heart is on its string but dance love and talk mean
But do it like I taught you to, do it like I taught you to
And stay away from powder drugs and free time and modern love
But do it like I taught you to, do it like I taught you to
But you're so smart, don't make a mess, don't fight your food
But you're so smart, now you're just f*cking rude
Oh talk quick! Bubblegum spit!
Oh look at this, they think they're slick
I found you out, on the curb smoking, but you hate cigarettes, but you hate cigarettes
And you dance mean and talk love and don't stay clean
And i think you're dumb now, you're pulling whips now, taking big trips now
Forget them, the world's heart is on its string but swing monday to saturday
But do it like I taught you to, do it like I taught you to
And stay the same through powder drugs and free time and cooler kids
But do it like I taught you to, do it like I taught you to
And remember your morals, fists up in quarrels
Don't get drunk but be honest
Your attitude and yearning is all that you have to be glad for
Don't yell in public, what's to be mad for
I walk like a dog, I'm four arms out
You walk aimlessly with your big mouth
But you're so smart, dressed like we want you to
Got a big heart, show it off at parties too
Talking so smart but who do you think you're talking to
C'mon back, love, there's so much more you can't do
