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?
