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
