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 how that 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 cant 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 alot 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 dont 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...
|
Fuck i'll give you anything if
|
You can make the damn thing work
|
|
Can't you just fix it for me, ill pay you well,
|
Fuck ill pay you anything
|
If you can end this
|
Hello, i love you will you tell me your name?
|
Hello, i'm good for nothing - will you love me just the same?
