lyrics

I never had a lot of schoolin'
No letters behind my name
But I'm not foolin' when I say

I've got the answers
I've earned my degree
Because somehow I've got you talking to me
I've got the answers
I've got it right
Because somehow I've got you here with me tonight
And if I find the way to make you say that you're my girl
Then I'm the smartest man in the world
The smartest man in the world
The smartest man in the world

I never attended Harvard
I lied on my resumé
But you must trust me when I say

I've got the answers
I've earned my degree
Because somehow I've got you right here with me
I've got the answers
I've got it right
Because somehow I've got you right here with me tonight
And if I find the way to make you say that you're my girl
Then I'm the smartest man in the world
The smartest man in the world
The smartest man in the world

And if I find the fountain of never getting old
And teach the brand new children to do everything they're told
And then I took a lump of clay and turned it into gold
I still would not be half as smart as the man who wins your heart

Yeah, I got the answers
Yeah, I got it right
Because somehow I've got you right here with me tonigth
I've got the answers
A perfect score!
Because I found you and I'm smart enough not to ask for more
'Cuz if I find the way to make you say that you're my girl
Then I'm the smartest man in the world
The smartest man in the world
The smartest man in the world
