Clever Girls Like Clever Boys Much More Than Clever Boys Like Clever Girls
Pelle Carlberg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And walked away with someone else instead
You should have listened to what grandma said
And married someone more like Fred
You should have listened to your inner voice
While you had time and still a choice
You should have reached for the emergency brake
You see the clever girl looks for a clever boy
To another extent than the clever boy
Will ever look for a mate
Who goes to round-table debates
And runs a little bit late
When she does work for the state
You see the clever girls look for a clever boys
And then the clever boys seem to have a different choice
They want a good-looking chick
That likes to blow them away
Someone who laughs at all the
Funny little things they say
I have a friend who's in this MENSA club
He has no trouble to admit
He wants a woman with ambitions
That go as far as raising kids
You see the clever girl looks for a clever boy
To another extent than the clever boy
Will ever look for a mate
Who goes to round-table debates
And runs a little bit late
When she does work for the state
You see the clever girl looks for a clever boy
To another extent than the clever boy
Will ever look for a mate
Who goes to round-table debates
And runs a little bit late
When she does work for the state
You see the clever girl looks for a clever boy
To another extent than the clever boy
Will ever look for a mate
Who goes to round-table debates
And runs a little bit late
When she does work for the state
The song "Clever Girls Like Clever Boys Much More Than Clever Boys Like Clever Girls" by Pelle Carlberg is about the difficulty of finding a compatible partner when one values intelligence and ambition. It explores the idea that while clever girls seek out similarly intelligent and ambitious boys, clever boys do not necessarily prioritize these traits in a mate. The song also touches on the regret that can come with not following one's instincts and making different choices in love.
The first verse urges the listener to listen to the advice of their elders and find someone more suitable for them than the person they ended up with. The second verse emphasizes the importance of listening to one's inner voice and making choices while they still have the chance. The catchy chorus sums up the theme of the song, that clever girls look for clever boys, but the reverse is not always true.
The third verse introduces a friend in MENSA who prioritizes a partner with ambition in raising kids, further exploring the complexity of finding a compatible partner based on one's values. The repetition of the chorus at the end of the song reinforces the idea that the search for love is not always easy or straightforward.
Overall, the song is a commentary on the complexities of finding love and compatibility when one values intelligence and ambition in a partner. It highlights the difficulties of finding someone who shares these values and reinforces the idea that it's important to listen to one's instincts and make choices that align with their values and desires.
