Smarter

One day her father came to her door
Looking just like he did when she was a little girl
It wasn't really him but he loved her
Like she wished he'd done before
Then her brother rose from the dead
Dressed up just like a gentleman caller
She didn't know him for all the fancy clothes
And she sent him away

Chorus:
She said I need somebody smarter than me
I need to exercise my vocabulary
I'll shut up and learn from
I'll shut up now

Jesus Christ came down from the aerial
Transmission he was all there
His perfect love left her nonplussed
She said I've been there

Chorus
