My momma said, "Don't let your head get control of your heart"
It's hard to fix your ignorance once your innocence is gone

And I said, "I'll never cross that line"
And let my heart just die
'Cause I'd rather be, oh I'd rather be stupid (Stupid)
Stupid (Stupid), stupid (Stupid)
Than dumb enough to think I know everything
(Than dumb enough to think I know everything)

'Cause all I know is we don't know what we don't know, no
So I won't go, no I won't go actin' like I do
I'd rather be stupid than to know it all
(Know it all, know it all, know know it all, know know it all)
I'd rather be (Know know it all, know know it all)
I'd rather be (Know know it all, know know it all)

So pitiful how cynical this world often can be
When it's so beautiful if only you let your heart start to see
I'm not naive, just blissfully choosin' to
Ignore the darkness hidin' around me
I know it's there but it won't control me

And I, I'll never cross that line
And let my heart just die
'Cause I'd rather be, oh I'd rather be stupid (Stupid)
Stupid (Stupid), stupid (Stupid)
Than dumb enough to think I know everything
(Than dumb enough to think I know everything)

'Cause all I know is we don't know what we don't know, no
So I won't go, no I won't go actin' like I do
I'd rather be stupid than to know it all
Oh, oh (Know it all, know it all, know know it all, know know it all)

I'd rather be stupid, stupid, stupid
Than be dumb enough to think I know everything
I know everything
Oh, I don't know everything

'Cause all I know is we don't know what we don't know, no
So I won't go, no I won't go actin' like I do
I'd rather be stupid than to know it all
(Know it all, know it all, know know it all, know know it all)
I'd rather be (Know know it all, know know it all)
I'd rather be (Know know it all, know know it all)
