so you don't have to dig through threads to find them. Smile

SMARTER

If I had one wish, it'd be for you and all your friends who didn't like me
If I had one wish, it'd be that we'd had danced more at that apocryphal wedding
If I sound angry, I'm sorry, this body can only cry for so long
And if you want to blame me, then go on
I'm smiling now 'cause I'm smarter than you think

chorus 1

I'm smarter than you
I'm smarter than you think

Well I apologize for not telling you that my halo was cut from paper
sliced from the fibers that made up all the parts that we were together
and even though i miss you, I'm thankful it's obvious that this one was futile
so put your hands together and clap for
the painful choice you've made 'cause it's right

chorus 2

You're smarter than me
You're smarter than I thought
You're smarter than me
You're smarter than I thought

bridge

chorus 3

(I found out)
You're smarter than me
(The hard way this time)
You're smarter than I thought
(You were right)
You're smarter than me
(This was all wrong)
I'm smarter than I thought


BE KIND

I'll buy you a diamond if you want me to
and past the world
past the world we fly
and we went high yeah we flew high
and finally you met me in your dreams

chorus

So be very kind
don't let the world fall on your shoulders
If so... oh, hopefully
I would find... I would find you again


I'll cry with you honey if you need me to
i'll dry your tears, dry your tears for you
there is no crime, there is no crime
and you and I were meant to live our dreams

chorus

So be very kind
don't let the world fall on your shoulders
If so... oh, hopefully
I would find... I would find you

bridge

And oh... this is just what we need
and this is finally for real
I guess we never wanted anything else
I guess we we never wanted anything
la da da da da dah
and you were right to love me...

chorus

Be very kind
don't let the world fall on your shoulders
If so... oh, hopefully
I would find... I would find you
oh, be very kind
don't let the world fall on your shoulders
If so... oh, hopefully
I would find... I would find you

I'll buy you a diamond if you want me to

Thanks for posting this so it's easy to find!

It was hard to hear the words in the live recordings, but it helps reading the lyrics, thanks!

Aw Kim, now how can we come up with the next classic misheard lyric like "Excuse me while I kiss this guy" or "There's a bathroom on the right"?

Only joking of course. Razz Thanks a bunch & hope you're gaining strength every day.

{For a long time I thought Fleetwood Mac were indecisive and repeating "Yeaaaaaaaahhh.....No!" during "Rhiannon." You'd think the title would give it away, huh?}

Anybody know the story behind what Smarter is about? Confused

I feel like it's kind of obvious. Marriage/divorce of Chad. Unless that was sarcastic, in which case, oops.
