Story Behind The Song
I wrote this because I was doing a jazz gig at the Ritz Carlton in Palm Beach, Florida and I was so sick of singing standards I had to write something fresh. It wasn't meant to dog guys, I just got the idea and ran with it :)

Lyrics
You sang a love song in my ear
Whispered sweet nothings soft and clear
Took me to the heavens and back my dear
Clever you
You shed a whole new light on love
had me shining brighter than the stars above
flew me even higher than a kite my love
Clever you
Well your mission was accomplished
I'm a total fool it's true
Cuz I let myself get all wrapped
in the likes of one like you
ooh baby I can see all the writing on the wall
you disappear just in time for me to take a fall
I learned my lesson oh so well
with just a nick upon my heart I lived to tell
of a romance come and gone a plan so swell
Clever you
