Smart Like You

The baby’s growing up so fast
Pretty soon I won’t even know her
She looks so far away through the glass
Maybe could you send me a picture?

Come on Carmen… pull it together
You’ve got to try to hang on
I talked to the warden. He said my behavior
Will have me out before long
I’ll be home before long

There’s something I should tell you about
I had another visit from Schaeffer
He’ll be waiting for me when I get out
But this time we’re gonna play it safer

It’s good money, and he knows I’m good for it
And this time we won’t get caught
Come on honey… you know I can’t quit
This is all I’ve got
Schaeffer’s all I’ve got

I can’t handle the straight life
I ain’t smart like you
I don’t like it any more than you do, babe
But it’s all I know how to do
This is what I do

I’m no good for the straight life
I ain’t smart like you
I don’t like it any more than you do, girl
But it’s all I know how to do
This is what I do

The baby’s growing up so fast
