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 & life I used to be the smart one - sharp as a tack Funny that how 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 can 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 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 SongtexteI can't draw a lot of things, I hope you understand I'm not exceptionally shy, but I never had a man who 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 could 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 could end this hell... (Hello, I love you, would you tell me your name? Hello - I'm good for nothing... Will you love me just the same?) Aus Songtexte Mania
