Playing Dumb

I CAN BE SMART WHEN I WANNA BE

BUT I'M SO GOOD AT PLAYING DUMB

I WON'T LET ON TO HOW MUCH I KNOW

CUZ I FIND OUT A LOT MORE THAT WAY



You wouldn't have told me

half the things you did

If you didn't think

I was just a dumb kid



I wouldn't know

half the things I know

If I had let

my intelligence show



That just goes to prove

That I'm really smart

Gathered lots of information

and I've taken it to heart

Author's Notes/Comments: 

written ages ago but still has meaning to me...lyrics...chorus in all caps...the less you let on that you know the more people share with you ...sometimes it works...try it

I love this piece, I act dumb a lot of the time too, it's sometimes better and fun to do and I think it really makes you smarter sometimes.
