Song Description

Getting into a relationship with someone we know is no good for us but still we rationalize away all the warning signs

Lyrics

if only
you didn't wear your socks to bed
if only
you would stop messing with my head
if only
you didn't try to run my life
if only
you didn't have that pesky wife

i can change you
i know i can
rearrange you
into the perfect man

but i don't need another
fixer-upper lover
i don't need another
fixer-upper lover

if only
you had a bit more self-esteem
then maybe
you'd have a hobby besides me
if only
you weren't a ticking space-time bomb
then maybe
my friends wouldn't think you're Mr. Wrong

i can change you
i know i can
rearrange you
into the perfect man

but i don't need another
fixer-upper lover
i don't need another
fixer-upper lover

there's a little voice inside me screaming no no no
but i can't seem to let you go go go

if only
you didn't smoke and drink so much
but maybe
all you need's a woman's touch
if only
you'd had some psychotherapy
but maybe
all you really need is me

i can change you
i know i can
rearrange you
into the perfect man

but i don't need another
fixer-upper lover
i don't need another
fixer-upper lover

i don't need another
fixer-upper lover
i don't need another
fixer-upper lover
