Lyrics

Smarter Than You

I'm a little intellectual
Someone who knows it all
I could be your summer special
You could be my New York
My doll my doll my doll

I'm a little intellectual
Someone who knows it all
I could be your summer special
You could be my New York
My doll my doll my doll

Smarter than you, smarter than you
Smarter than you, smarter than you
Smarter than you, smarter than you
Can't you see I'm
Smarter than you, smarter than you
Smarter than you, smarter than you
Smarter than you, smarter than you
Can't you see

I'm a human calculator
Five and five and five is ten
I kiss you and call you later
Cos I wanna see you again
I wanna see you again
I wanna see you again

Smarter than you, smarter than you
Smarter than you, smarter than you
Smarter than you, smarter than you
Can't you see I'm

Smarter than you, smarter than you
Smarter than you, smarter than you
Smarter than you, smarter than you
Can't you see I'm

Smarter than you, smarter than you
Smarter than you, smarter than you
Smarter than you, smarter than you
Can't you see I'm

Smarter than you, smarter than you
Smarter than you, smarter than you
Smarter than you, smarter than you
Can't you see I'm smart
