Mr. Clever
Katie James, Toño Castillo
I’m taking off my make-up for you
I’m slipping off my high heeled shoes
I’m letting all my hair hang loose
I know that it’s my natural self you want to see
You say you don’t care ‘about my looks
You care about my mind and my books
You ask me to switch off my phone
Would you please switch off your mind for me!
Mr. Clever, complicated words
Where do they take you, what are they worth?
I love you more when you hold me in silence and breathe
You can use your lips in other ways
And let your poor brain cells sleep for today
I love you more when you hold me in silence and feel
Your Ph.D don’t turn me on
Your body’s where my thoughts belong
Your words demand my ears, my ears demand a rest
I wanna lie in silence on your chest
Mr. Clever, complicated words
