Vom Vorton (shadow entry, obvz)

she thinks I’m smart
because I know all the equations
even though I’ve proved the opposite
on regular occasions
she thinks I’m smart
because I answer all the questions
though I tend to shut my mouth
and let others take the best ones

I don’t know who
put all these ideas in her mind
but she
thinks I am smart
and this is fine

she thinks I’m strong
because I carry all the shopping
though I use a trolley
to prevent the bags from dropping
she thinks I’m strong
because I can give her a lift
but I’m pretty sure
driving a car
is not a unique gift

I don’t know who
put all these ideas in her mind
but she
thinks I am strong
and this is fine
she thinks I’m strong
and this is fine

she thinks I’m charming
intelligent and wise
counterpoint: I’m not
but I’d love to see me through her eyes
asked for my best qualities
I shrug and hesitate
but at least one of us
thinks I’m great

I don’t know who
puts these thoughts into her mind
but she
thinks I am great
and this is fine
she thinks I’m great
and this is fine

Catchy song with a strong mix but mainly I love the questions / best ones quarter-rhyme, always enjoy that trick when a rhyme is telegraphed and then doesn't happen, it keeps you on your toes.
