Lyrics

FIXER-UPPER

You are a lonely woman, that's what your friends say
A solitary lady, just wasting 'way your days
Face it girl they tell you, you're broken down, depressed
We'll help you find the right man to clean up on this mess

(C) A fixer upper with the tool for the job
All the right adjustments to put your life in overdrive
A fixer upper, they think the know the man you need
With all these good intentions you don't need no enemies

The minute that you hear them you know you're in a bind
Nightmares come streaming back from the last time they were kind
He was a flashy little guy, he said his name was Al
Talked all night about himself and his cherry Monte Carlo (C)

(B1) How do you break it gently that you rather stay at home?
In your bathrobe and your slippers with the late, late show
All this putting on the war paint and the shy coquettish smiles
It’s like a thousand dollar paint job on a hundred thousand miles

(B2) All this dating, rating, staying out way too late at night
While you're worrying about your kids getting out of the babysitter's sight
You were feeling pretty good today, 'til they caught you in this trap
What you'd really like to do is go home alone and take a nap

They meddle some; they peddle some guy with personality
And oh it’s frightening, just what you see
It might amaze them; what you really think
You don't care if he's a movie star, just can he fix the sink (C)
