The Dresden Dolls - The Perfect Fit lyrics

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

f*ck I'll pay you anything

if you could end this

Can't you just fix it for me,

it's gone berserk...

f*ck 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,

f*ck 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?
