This song is a song of advice to young men to not fall in love with someone because of looks, but because of intellect. Jonathan has been happily married to his wife (a ‘smart girl’) for many decades.
Listen to me boys, and learn important things
Benefit from wisdom that experience brings
I will be specific, I will be direct
When you look for love, look for intellect
You know that smart girls shine like laser lights
'Cause they're so sharp and they're so bright
I tell you smart girls know the human heart
Because love is science, and love is art
Smart girls do their best, take a second look
Smart girls wear their glasses to read their books
Practice the piano in the afternoon
And hold your hand by the light of the moon
You know that smart girls shine like laser lights
'Cause they're so sharp and they're so bright
I tell you smart girls know the human heart
Because love is science, and love is art
You'll do well if you take my advice:
Fall in love with a smart girl
Smart girls make the grade, study through the night
Smart girls pass the test and get the answer right
They'll meet you after class, at the library
And speak your name so quietly
You know that smart girls shine like laser lights
'Cause they're so sharp and they're so bright
I tell you smart girls know the human heart
Because love is science, and love is art
You know that smart girls shine like laser lights
'Cause they're so sharp and they're so bright
I tell you smart girls know the human heart
Because love is science, and love is art
You'll do well if you take my advice:
Fall in love with a smart girl
