The Perfect Fit

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 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 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... 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 Fuck I'll 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?
