Lyrics

Wonder Boy

Wonder boy, wonder boy
That's what they call you at our school
But I think you're just an educated fool

Wonder boy, wonder boy
If you're so smart, how come you don't know I love you
If you're so smart, how come you don't know I care

Your nose is always stuck in a book
I doubt if you even know how I look

Wonder boy, wonder boy
If you're so smart, how come you don't know I adore you
If you're so smart, you ought know I love you

In reading & writing & 'rithmetic
You're the best in the class
But if you had to take a lovin' test
I doubt if you could pass

Wonder boy, wonder boy
If you're so smart, how come you don't know I'm gonna get you
I'll bet my heart that I'm gonna make you mine

(Horn solo)
If you're so smart, how come you don't know I'm gonna get you
I'll bet my heart that I'm gonna make you mine

(Repeat & fade):
Wonder boy, wonder boy
If you're so smart, how come you don't know I'm gonna get you
I'll bet my heart that I'm gonna make you mine
