The Perfect Fit Lyrics - Dresden Dolls - The Dresden Dolls

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?
