Lyrics:

[English]

I'd rather be dumb

Like a child with a gun

Shootin' my shot till I get ya I promise I will

I promise I betcha, betcha

You take your time

But in the end you'll be mine

Cuz you ain't that dumb

You know I'm the one

I'd rather be

Everybody hates ya say I shouldn't date ya but I take the bait it's just for a

Night turn into weekends quickly into seasons got a million reasons why I should

Really leave your ass put your lies on blast know it couldn't last but it's so

Hard to be alone seventeen and grown I just wanna know why I would

Rather be dumb

Like a child with a gun

Shootin' my shot till I get ya I promise I will

I promise I betcha, betcha

You take your time

But in the end you'll be mine

Cuz you ain't that dumb

You know I'm the one

I'd rather be

Cross my heart and hope to die I took an oath I'd never cry so why do I

Always drive up on the 101 just so you can be a hit and run

I can feel this seesaw up and down, what goes round will come on back around

Breaking me to pieces but I love the feeling bet you wanna know why I would

Rather be dumb

Like a child with a gun

Shootin' my shot till I get ya I promise I will

I promise I betcha, betcha

You take your time

But in the end you'll be mine

Cuz you ain't that dumb

You know I'm the one

I'd rather be

Practice makes perfect

I'll try cuz you're worth it

You're all the things I wish that I could be

You see the things in me that I can't see

And I know I sound dumb

I think you might be the one and I let you get away, damn

I know that I have loved you carelessly

I don't know why you waste your time on me

But give me one more chance I guarantee

I'll make you see, I'll make you see

I could be that love (You know I'm the one)

Could be the boy you dreamed of eventually

I'd rather be dumb

Like a child with a gun

Shootin' my shot till I get ya I promise I will

I promise I betcha, betcha

You take your time

But in the end you'll be mine

Cuz you ain't that dumb

You know I'm the one

I'd rather be
