Why Tori Amos is my hero - “I’m not stupid”

Elizabeth September 7th, 2007

I will finally share a room with her on Monday night, but until then I have YouTube. And this little gem is one of the cutest songs she’s ever written :)


When I was 21 do you think I had a bag of cocaine in my car?
If I did, if I did
You’d never know it, no
You’d never know it because it would have been hidden.
‘Coz I’m not stupid.

But why are so many 21-year-old millionaires so stupid?
Stupid and cute,
But stupid? I don’t know…

Let’s just say when i was 26, or 7, or 8
And if i was a millionairess, what would i have done?
Many naughty things,
Many many many naughty things,
But i would have had a driver.

‘Coz i’m not stupid, no
I’m not stupid, no
Not that stupid, anyway…

‘Coz if i had been naughty
(I like being naughty)
But I haven’t been caught so far
And I am almost forty-four
Forty-four,
And I have done many many many many bad things.
But they are hidden inside my mmm-mmm,
Inside my mmm-mmm
So there’s no record or no fingerprints on it

‘Coz I’m not stupid,
‘Coz I’m not stupid
No, not stupid.

Tori for President.
