She had eyes like crazy diamonds And you ran with feet of clay they rolled the windows tight as they would go It was a smoggy day She looked up and asked me if I ever had a lover that I did not betray
And I turned on the radio and I looked the other way She said you´re smart, but in a stupid way
Chorus: And this is the price that you pay For being smart in a stupid way You stand there staring while your lover walks away Being smart, in a stupid way
The doors they close like eyelids The train just pulled away Sometimes I smell the perfume that she was wearing that day And i wonder if there´s anyone that i´ll ever love in any way Maybe I´ll grow up and be good someday
Maybe this pain I feel will go away
Chorus
So why is my heart so hollow Why are my dreams so shallow And why don´t I ever have anything else to say And why is my love so far away
