The Dresden Dolls - The Perfect Fit lyrics
[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 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 just 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 oh 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 oh, fuck
I'll pay you anything if you
Can end this hell
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
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
