  • [Chorus]
    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

    [Chorus: x2]

    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

    [Chorus: x2]

    Is stupid really stupid
    or a different kind of smart?
    Do we really have a relationship
    so special in your heart?

    [Chorus]
    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

    [Chorus: x2]

    Is stupid really stupid
    or a different kind of smart?
    That's how you stole my heart

  • Tim from Minneapolis, MnLet's not make this about politics. I'll buy that this song was a none-too-subtle slam on Bush and Blair, but let's not assume what the general public thinks. I say this as part of the .004% of Pet Shop Boys die-hard fans who happen to also be quite conservative politically. Great song, by the way (I can usually get over questionable viewpoints when the music is this good).
  • Dave from Cardiff, WalesHit #8 in the UK over two decades after their debut #1 hit "West End Girls". Not sure but I think it may have been their 40th UK hit single. Back in 1985, most critics expected them to be gone and forgotten within the next year, but...
  • Mjn Seifer from Not Listed For Personal Reason, EnglandIt's actually "Walliams" forgive my mistake.
