The Perfect Fit lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
It's 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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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

[Verse 6]
Can't you just do it for me? I'll pay you well
f*ck, I'll pay you anything if you could end this
Can't you just fix it for me? It's gone berserk
Oh f*ck, 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, f*ck, I'll pay you anything if you can end this hell

[Outro]
Hello, I love you, won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I'm good for nothing—will you love me just the same?
The same
