The Perfect Fit - The Dresden Dolls
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
F_ck I'll pay you anything
If you could end this
Can't you just fix it for me
It's gone berserk
Oh f_ck, 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 f_ck, 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
The same
