Brilliant Boy

Weezer · Other Songs - Weezer

Virginia backyards, suburban life

Don't wake the parents, "On potomac tonight"

Roll on the couch by the tv's light

In the basement no one esle in sight

I fear the day that I am not with you



Unlock the front door, sneak out the house

Down to Montana [woo oo], where A.C. hangs out

Feeling fifteen, feeling no doubt

'Cause your sweet voice let mine be without



You're just a stupid girl, stupid girl, stupid girl

I ain't no brilliant boy

You're just a stupid girl, stupid girl

I ain't no brilliant boy



Down to train depot, get in line in file

Goodbye Virginia , with your lousy style

Goodbye my gal, sometime next year

Goodbye my gal, although just look at you dear



I ain't no brilliant boy

I ain't no brilliant boy...
