|
I could make a dress |
|
A robe fit for a prince |
|
I could clothe a continent |
|
But I can't sew a stitch |
|
I can paint my face |
|
And stand very, very still |
|
Its not very practical |
|
But it still pays the bills |
|
I can't change my name |
|
But I could be your type |
|
I can dance and win at games |
|
Like backgammon and Life |
|
I used to be the smart one |
|
Sharp as a tack |
|
Funny that how skipping years ahead |
|
Has held me back |
|
I used to be the bright one |
|
Top in my class |
|
Funny what they give you when you |
|
Just learn how to ask |
|
I can write a song |
|
But I can't sing in key |
|
I can play piano |
|
But I never learned to read |
|
I can't trap a mouse |
|
But I can pet a cat |
|
No, I'm really serious |
|
I'm really very good at that |
|
I can't fix a car |
|
But I can fix a flat |
|
I could fix a lot of things |
|
But I'd rather not get into that |
|
I used to be the bright one |
|
Smart as a whip |
|
Funny how you slip so far when |
|
Teachers don't keep track of it |
|
I used to be the tight one |
|
The perfect fit |
|
Funny how those compliments can |
|
Make you feel so full of it |
|
I can shuffle, cut and deal |
|
But I can't draw a hand |
|
I can't draw a lot of things |
|
I hope you understand |
|
I'm not exceptionally shy |
|
But I've never had a man |
|
That I could look straight in the eye |
|
And tell my secret plans |
|
I can take a vow |
|
And I can wear a ring |
|
And I can make you promises |
|
But they won't mean a thing |
|
Can't you do it for me |
|
I'll pay you well |
|
Fuck, I'll pay you anything |
|
If you could end this |
|
Can't you just fix it for me |
|
It's gone berserk |
|
Oh fuck, I'll give you anything |
|
If you can make the damn thing work |
|
Can't you just fix it for me |
|
I'll pay you well |
|
Oh fuck, I'll pay you anything |
|
If you can end this hell |
|
Hello, I love you will you tell me your name? |
|
Hello, I'm good for nothing, will you love me just the same? |
|
The same |
