I'll never gonna be the handyman around the house
|
My father warned,
|
So don't be asking me to hang the curtain
|
Right for you because
|
The screwdriver business just gets me confused
|
It takes me half an hour to change a fuse
|
And when I flick the switch, the lights all blew
|
I'm not your handyman!
|
|
Don't be expecting me to put up shelves
|
Or build the garden shed
|
But I can write a song that tells the world
|
How much I love you instead!
|
I'm not any good at pottery
|
So let's lose a "T", and shift back to "E"
|
And I'll find a way to make my poetry
|
Build a roof over our head.
|
|
I know it looks like I'm just reading the paper
|
But these ideas will turn to gold dust later
|
Cause I'm a writer, not a decorator,
|
I'm not your handyman!
