Genius

Duncan Sheik

Clearly I'm a genius 
If she only knew it 
but somewhere in her radius 
I really blew it 
I know, I know what I said to her 
and I know what I did 
What I don't know is how I could ever be 
so incredibly stupid 

[CHORUS:] 

(you don't really need to know every last detail. 
Its hardly worth telling 
suffice to say I said that I would be there 
i never came through) 

Maybe I'm a genius and 
she just don't see it 
I fronted, 
I should have admitted, 
she saw right through it 
I never thought that I could be 
so underhanded. 
somehow I've cornered the market on 
the double standard 

[CHORUS] 

For this act of genius 
and so many others 
I know I should apologize 
and see how it goes 

what am I waiting for? 
come on, come on, come on, come on 

sha la la la la la sha la la la la la la la 

to all of the geniuses... 

[CHORUS]
