Maria McKee - Smarter lyrics

One day her father came to her door Looking just like he did when she was a little girl It wasn't really him but he loved her Like she wished he'd done before Then her brother rose from the dead Dressed up just like a gentleman caller She didn't know him for all the fancy clothes And she sent him away Chorus: She said I need somebody smarter than me I need to exercise my vocabulary I'll shut up and learn from I'll shut up now Jesus Christ came down from the aerial Transmission he was all there His perfect love left her nonplussed She said I've been there Chorus
