Too Clever By Half - David J

Sometimes I try to be too sharp

No one gets the point

Notes on a broken harp

I didn’t mean to hurt you

I don’t want to carp

Sometimes I try to be too sharp

Sometimes I try to be too smart

Like the times when I’m finished

Before I start

Dressing up dressing down

Malice in wonderland

I’ve thrown down the iron glove

Now let’s go hand in hand

Too clever by half

Don’t you see?

That when I’m laughing

I’m laughing at me

Smart Alec smart Alec

What have you done?

Smart Alec smart Alec

What have you done?

Smart Alec smart Alec

What have you done?

Smart Alec smart Alec

What have you done?
