Mr Wise Guy Lyrics

    (r palmer)

    Who'd ever guess to look at her?
    They say she's a dancer but they don't fool me
    You thought you knew it all, cos you'd been there
    Thought she was a flirt you didn't know her

    You kissed the girls and made them cry
    You thought you would be only "hello-goodbye"
    But now a twist of love has changed your world
    Till i kissed her i was just another wise guy

    You thought you were so cool
    (wise guy)
    You had all the right moves

    You said "beware she'll break your heart"
    She's about to turn around and prove you wrong
    You thought you had the map, she's off the chart
    Try to keep up with her if you're such a wise guy

    Her kisses gave you the clue
    (wise guy)
    And now you know what to do

    Didn't gamble, never won a prize
    Rush to judgement and you pay the price
    How could you presume to be qualified
    If it bit you wouldn't recognise it!

    You said love was for fools
    (wise guy)
    Then she broke all your rules

    Who'd ever guess to look at her
    They she's a teaser but they can't fool me
    Because i met my match when i met her;
    Hast la vista mr wise guy

    You misjudged her so eat humble pie
    Your opinion wasn't justified
    You were cautious, you'd been hurt inside
    Wouldn't risk it so you just criticised her

    You said love was for fools
    (wise guy)
    But love knows better than you
    (wise guy)

    You thought you were so cool
    (wise guy)
    But now we know who's the fool
    (mr wise guy)
