Hey girl, you've got a smart way
  About you that makes me wish that I was smart enough for you
  Hey girl, you've got a fine laugh
  And I think that I can get used to that
  And you're already used to laughing at me
    [chorus]
  So what if your friends think I'm crazy, well
  I wasn't trying to impress those girls anyway
  They're all theories and no action
  Where I'm from we live like it's the latest attraction
    And go on, go on, your cruel intentions will
  Solve your problems, everyone's gotta be
  Brought up, brought up out in the long run
  And those are the ones that I want to be with
  Hey girl, you've got a short fuse
  And I've got designs on lighting you off
  And setting you off and watching you burn out
    The world lives for the weekends
  Well I watched as my weeks bleed right into them
  Without a rhyme to define what has passed
  And what is mine
    [chorus]
