[English]

Oh-oh, I'm with Stupid

Oh-oh, I'm with Stupid

See you on the TV

Call you every day

Fly across the ocean

Just to let you get your way

No one understands me

Where I'm coming from

Why would I be with someone

who's obviously so dumb?

Love comes

Love grows

every time you rise to meet me

take my hand to greet me

Love comes

Love grows

and power can give a man

much more than anybody knows

Oh-oh, I'm with Stupid

Oh-oh, I'm with Stupid

Oh-oh, I'm with Stupid

Oh-oh, I'm with Stupid

Before we ever met

I thought like everybody did

you were just a moron

a billion-dollar kid

You flew up all the way

like a hawk chasing a dove

I never thought that I would be

a sacrifice in love

It comes

It grows

and now we're tied together

everybody knows

Oh-oh, I'm with Stupid

Oh-oh, I'm with Stupid

Oh-oh, I'm with Stupid

Oh-oh, I'm with Stupid

Is stupid really stupid

or a different kind of smart?

Do we really have a relationship

so special in your heart?

Oh-oh, I'm with Stupid

Oh-oh, I'm with Stupid

I have to ask myself

like any lover might:

Have you made a fool of me?

Are you not Mr Right?

You grin

I pose

It's not about sincerity

Everybody knows

Oh-oh, I'm with Stupid

Oh-oh, I'm with Stupid

Oh-oh, I'm with Stupid

Oh-oh, I'm with Stupid

Is stupid really stupid

or a different kind of smart?
