Bilingual
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 throw down the iron gloves
Now let's go hand in hand
ย
Too clever by half
Don't you see
That when I'm laughing, I'm laughing at me?
ย
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?

If these are finger-pointing songs
The finger is pointing at me
Livin' up to my own put-downs
The sting that kills the bee
Making waves, a bully in the pool
Good intentions lost at sea
A snake venom cure
The cause is the remedy
ย
Too clever by half
Don't you see
That when I'm laughing, I'm laughing at me?

Too clever by half

Too clever by half
Too clever by half
Too clever by half
Too clever by half
Too clever by half
Too clever by half
Too clever by half
Too clever by half
Too clever
