The Perfect Fit The Dresden Dolls

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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
