My door was open, but she still knocked
She was electric but I wasn’t shocked
Hooked up, she’s my daisy chain
Counting down until I get to see her face again
Watching the hands spinning round the clock
Always back it up I never ticked the talk
Now this bird has flown out, oh but I can’t squawk
Send her flowers, cuz she helped me cure my writer’s block
Thinking I’m not as dumb as I thought I was
Thinking I’m not as dumb as I thought I was
I’m thinking, I’m not as dumb as I thought I was
No, I’m not as dumb as I thought I was
Door's slammed shut but it’s still unlocked
My gun’s not loaded but my trigger’s cocked
Drop your weapons baby, can’t we talk?
You know I’m sure we could, but I’d rather not
I’d rather see you dead in the streets
Than with somebody else sitting in your driver’s seat
Oh if you wanna play, baby dust off your cleats
You’d think I learned my lesson, oh but I just keep
On singing I’m not as dumb as I thought I was
Singing I’m not as dumb as I thought I was
I’m thinking, I’m not as dumb as I thought I was
No, I’m not as dumb as I thought I was
Door was bolted but she broke the lock
I had a full clip, took a couple shots
Come on baby, let’s go take a walk
Midnight at the harbour where there’s nobody docked
Cuz, I’d rather see you under the sea
Than see those big green eyes staring back at me
I’ll give your best to your new boyfriend
And let him know that he won’t ever see your face again
Thinking I’m not as dumb as I thought I was
Thinking I’m not as dumb as I thought I was
I’m thinking, I’m not as dumb as I thought I was
Lucky I’m not as dumb as I thought I was
I’d never hurt you, honestly
I’d never hurt you purposely…
You’re lucky I’m not as dumb as I thought I was
