You dumbed me down I was trying to be sophisticated
You talked me round Made things less complicated
I was aiming high brow You raised your eyebrow
I'm puckering up with my feet on the ground Cause you dumbed me down
Give me three chords Give me three primary colors
Give me three little words We don't need any others
You dumbed me down
No more highfalutin' You popped that balloon
Straight from the head of sharpshootin'
I'm not so smart I can't think with my heart
I lost my frown to play the clown You dumbed me down
I was aiming high brow You raised your eyebrow
You slapped me down and turned me round You dumbed me down
You slapped me down and turned me round You dumbed me down
You dumbed me down
