Lyrics

SMART WITHOUT A HEART

Met a boy when I was just a girl
Met a boy when I was just a girl
Whoa-oh-oh oh-
I was sitting on a fence rail he came up over the hill
Well he was so thin and dirty and this is what he said

He said I feel so lonely feel so lonely
Are you lonely like me
He said I feel so lonely feel so lonely
Are you lonely like me
And I said oh no well I’m not lonely
I like my own company

He said that’s real smart thinking real smart thinking
Wish I could be like you
repeat

Then he stared at me so strangely
I felt a chill run through
Walked off like a homeless cat
Disappeared from view

Been a long long time now
Oh so many years
I see him in my dreams now
He comes dragging wings and tears
And he’s still so thin and dirty
He’s low and blue
He says I’ve got a message from me to you

Don’t be smart without a heart smart without a heart no no no
Well don’t be smart without a heart smart without a heart
Then he stares at me so strangely
Like he sees all the way through
Walks off like a homeless cat whoa-oh-oh-oh
Disappears from view

Met a boy when I was just a girl
Met a boy when I was just a girl
Whoa oh oh oh

He said I feel so lonely feel so lonely
Are you lonely too
He said I feel so lonely feel so lonely
Are you lonely too

And I said oh yes I do get lonely
I get so lonely just like you
