Lyrics The Long Blondes

The Long Blondes

Too Clever By Half

I know you're only doing what comes naturally

I know you're only doing what comes naturally

Oh you

You and her were pretty cruel

You both planned 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 blind 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 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

No I don't have to tell you what we did next

No I don't have to tell you what we did next

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 you're only doing what comes naturally

I know you're only doing what comes naturally

I know you're only doing what comes naturally

I know you're only doing what comes naturally
