[Verse 1:] You're nestled in the corner of the library You read encyclopedias and look for me But baby I don’t fit inside a font or page If you wanna know about me read the freckles on my face Is it wrong to wanna get a confrontation? His type in conversations never really was fun If you wanna know about me how 'bout takin' some time Right now you’re intelligent, but you sure ain't mi-i-ine [Chorus:] You're not Socrates So why don't you stop analyzing me? I don't like your philosophies You're try'na shot 'em over my he-e-ad I’m not a foolish girl, you see I know how to find thе ready excite-y I’m not fond of your trеatment towards me Smarty pants, your chivalry is dead [Verse 2:] If I gave a letter grade to you I'd say You wouldn’t even pass, you were absent every day But here's a lesson, don't check out, here's why Quit hiding in those books and join the world outside Yourself because [Chorus:] You’re not Socrates So why don't you stop analyzing me? I don't like your philosophies You're try'na shot 'em over my he-e-ad I'm not a foolish girl, you see I know how to find the ready excite-y I'm not fond of your treatment towards me Smarty pants, your chivalry is dead [Chorus:] You better get it together If this is on your head Hey, I bet you think you're smart Smarter than you truly are I talk in riddles too Who's cold as ice and a while to talk to? Hey, I bet you think you're smart Smarter than you truly are Hey, I talk in riddles too Who's cold as ice and a while to talk to? [Chorus:] You're not Socrates So why don't you stop analyzing me? I don't like your philosophies You're try'na shot 'em over my he-e-ad I'm not a foolish girl, you see I know how to find the ready excite-y I'm not fond of your treatment towards me Smarty pants, your chivalry You're not Socrates So why don't you stop analyzing me? I don't like your philosophies You're try'na shot 'em over my he-e-ad I'm not a foolish girl, you see I know how to find the ready excite-y I'm not fond of your treatment towards me Smarty pants, your chivalry (yeah, yeah yeah) Is dead
