[Verse 1]
David's got a lot of opinions
He's a government bureaucrat
Sally's echoin' his position
Got me questionin' their intellect
Throw my two cents in to stir the pot
Head's explodin', devil's advocate
I came to make some friends but all I got
Were half the phoneys here that want me bought
Or maybe shot

[Chorus]
Why do I always have to be the smartest guy in the room?
I run my mouth and put my foot in it
My friends all say I'm full of it
I've never had a taste of humble pie, I'm immune
You know, it's hard for me somеtimes
When you're thе smartest guy

[Verse 2]
I can't hold down a relationship
It's hard to click with someone so obtuse
I'm always carryin' this shoulder chip
I've always gotta have somethin' to prove
Now there's this chick here that I really dig
We hit it off after I made my move
I crashed my car goin' down easy street
I had to go critique the feminine mystique
Now she thinks I am a creep

[Chorus]
Why do I always have to be the smartest guy in the room?
I run my mouth and put my foot in it
My friends all say I'm full of it
I've never had a taste of humble pie, I'm immune
You know, it's hard for me sometimes
When you're the smartest guy
[Bridge]
You know, I've never had a taste of humble pie, I'm immune

[Chorus]
Why do I always have to be the smartest guy in the room?
I run my mouth and put my foot in it
My friends all say I'm full of it
It's hard for me sometimes
When you're the smartest guy

[Outro]
When you're the smartest guy
When one's the smartest guy
Thou art the smartest guy
I am the smartest guy
