Clever Girl
Trials of Love: A Clever Dance Through Chaos
Lyrics
Our first date
Expressing the beginning of a romantic relationship
I apologize for being late
Apologizing for being late on their first date
I got bit by a rattlesnake
Describing a bizarre excuse for lateness, using a rattlesnake bite
On my way to see you
Despite challenges, attempting to meet the person
The second time we tried
Narrating a second attempt at connecting romantically
Lightening rained down from the sky
Encountering unexpected obstacles like lightning
And even though it missed me
Surviving the lightning strike, but facing consequences
My car was clearly fried
Experiencing damage to the car due to the lightning
You are such a clever girl
Complimenting the partner's intelligence, possibly sarcastically
I can't understand
Expressing confusion about why the partner is interested in the speaker
What you see in a guy like me
Acknowledging personal shortcomings and self-doubt
An accident waiting to happen
Referring to oneself as an accident waiting to happen
I can sing and you can dance
Highlighting the ability to sing and partner's ability to dance
But I won't never understand
Expressing difficulty in understanding the partner's perspective
I'm tripping over two left feet
Admitting clumsiness and lack of coordination
And you're falling in love in with me
Contrasting personal flaws with the partner's affection
Clever Girl
Reiterating the partner's cleverness
The third time would have been the charm
Reflecting on a failed third attempt due to a bee swarm
If it hadn't been for that bee swarm
Describing an obstacle and expressing determination
But you are sweeter than honey so
Complimenting the partner's sweetness compared to honey
I'll never give up trying
Committing to persistent efforts despite challenges
We finally got together when
Recalling a successful meeting after a hospital visit
You visited the hospital
Acknowledging a missed gesture of bringing flowers
I should have got you flowers
Expressing gratitude for the partner's thoughtful action
But you brought some to me
Describing the partner's gesture of bringing flowers
You are such a clever girl
Reiterating admiration for the partner's cleverness
I can't understand
Expressing ongoing confusion about the partner's choice
What you see in a guy like me
Referencing personal flaws as a comedy of errors
A comedy of errors
Repeating the contrast between singing and dancing abilities
I can sing and you can dance
Emphasizing the partner's ability to overlook personal shortcomings
But I won't never understand
Acknowledging continued clumsiness but appreciating the partner's wisdom
I'm tripping over two left feet
Highlighting persistent challenges in coordination
But you're smart enough to marry me
Surprisingly, the partner is smart enough to marry the speaker
Clever Girl
Concluding with a reaffirmation of the partner's cleverness
