[Chorus] Oh-oh, I'm with Stupid Oh-oh, I'm with Stupid See you on the TV Call you every day Fly across the ocean Just to let you get your way No one understands me Where I'm coming from Why would I be with someone who's obviously so dumb? Love comes Love grows every time you rise to meet me take my hand to greet me Love comes Love grows and power can give a man much more than anybody knows [Chorus: x2] Before we ever met I thought like everybody did you were just a moron a billion-dollar kid You flew up all the way like a hawk chasing a dove I never thought that I would be a sacrifice in love It comes It grows and now we're tied together everybody knows [Chorus: x2] Is stupid really stupid or a different kind of smart? Do we really have a relationship so special in your heart? [Chorus] I have to ask myself like any lover might: Have you made a fool of me? Are you not Mr. Right? You grin I pose It's not about sincerity Everybody knows [Chorus: x2] Is stupid really stupid or a different kind of smart? That's how you stole my heart I'm with Stupid
