Cuomo stated in an interview with Rolling Stone that the song was originally called ”Hot Girls.“ He said he wrote it about all of these hot girls all over him and him being married and him not being able to do anything.
[Verse 1]
Where did all these smart girls come from?
I don't think that I could choose just one
Where did all these smart girls come from?
Someone tell me how to get me some
On the floor, in the car
On the seat at the bar
Wherever I go
That's where they are
[Chorus]
Smart girls
Never get enough, of those
Smart girls
Smart girls
[Verse 2]
I want to be a bad boy right now
Real me is dying to hang out
I know you know what I'm talking about
I've got a feeling you could show me how
On a bus, on a train
On a boat, on a plane
I'm falling in love
What was your name?
[Chorus]
Smart girls
Never get enough, of those
Smart girls
Sleeping in the buff
[Bridge 1]
Yumi, Sherie, Alison, Mary
Which one do I want to marry?
They’re all smart girls
They’re all smart girls
Sheena, Lola, Fabiola
Don’t you know you make me lose my mind?
[Reprise]
Where did all these smart girls come from?
I don't think that I could choose just one
Where did all these smart girls come from?
Someone tell me how to get me some
[Bridge 2]
Lisa, Brittany, Paula, Whitney
Which one do I want here with me?
They're all smart girls
They're all smart girls
Debbie, Donna, Tatiana
Don't you know you make me lose my mind?
[Chorus]
Smart girls
Never get enough, of those
Smart girls
Sleeping in the buff
Smart girls
Talking 'bout smart girls
I don't want a smart girl
Talking 'bout smart girls
