I showered her in diamonds   Sprinkled her in gold   And all the red roses she could hold   Making sure no compliment was spared       Setting in the back of a black limosine   I flashed my charm and a whole lotta green   But that didn't get me anywhere       Now when people ask me why she broke my heart   How she went and tore a good thing apart   I tell em that little girl was smart   Yes, she was smart       Well, she knew I wasn't in love as I looked   And I was still sitting on a little black book   With a few more pages I was working on   Yeah, she had me pegged from my opening line   Hoping I might prove her wrong over time   A girl like that only waits so long       Now when people ask me why she broke my heart   How she went and tore a good thing apart   I tell em that little girl was smart   Yes, she was smart       Now when I ain't sowing my oats no more   She's the kinda girl I'll be looking for   I tell you that little girl was smart   And now when people ask me why she broke my heart   How she went and tore a good thing apart   I tell em that little girl was smart   Yeah, she was smart
