Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Smarty, though I'm not quite as smart as you
I can teach you a thing or two
Smarty
[Verse 2]
Smarty, don't you know you should hold me tight?
Can't you tell when you're making it right?
P-p-p-p-p-party, yes
[Verse 3]
Ooh, you think you know every star up above?
Mmm, that's all you know about
Still, you're in need of a few lessons
Baby, in love, I ain't telling you nothing wrong
[Verse 4]
Smarty, can't you see if you had a heart
You could learn to be twice as smart?
Smarty, come here
[Verse 5]
I told you I'd tickle you
Yeah, oh, you know it all?
Smarty
Yes, I mean it, yes, I do, yeah
[Verse 6]
Oh, Smarty, can't you see if you had a heart
You could learn to be twice as smart?
Smarty
[Verse 7]
Ah, you tricky thing
You thought you tricked me?
Hey, hey, next, next
