Lyrics

When I was young, I used to just depend on common sense
I was a corner boy always prone to ignorance.
When people talked about the news, the world and so and so
I hung my head in shame for all the things I didn't know.
But when I met you, that's when things started turning round
felt like a magna cum laude not a class clown.

I ain't no Einstein, ain't no da Vinci baby
I'm just a simpleton that's so in love with you.
Ain't got no PhD, that trip eluded me
I just feel much smarter when I'm standing next to you.

I never paid attention, teachers always gave me grief
I was so happy passing by the skin of my teeth.
I never studied, didn't read or apply myself
I left the books and my potential sitting on the shelf.
But nothing interests me like the time I spend with you.
I feel my heart rate climb just the same as my IQ

I ain't no Einstein, ain't no da Vinci baby
I'm just a simpleton that's so in love with you.
Couldn't invent a thing,
I'm just a Ding-A-Ling; my big discovery is how much I love you

I spent my high school years chasing pretty girls uptown
they thought that I was handsome but they never stuck around.
They said I had no future I was just a child at heart
and that they only dated rich kids that they knew were smart.
But then the tide finally turned when you held me tight,
I became an honor student almost overnight
