Lyrics Too Clever By Half - 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 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
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
