THE DO-IT-YOURSELF STORE by Michael Goldman ©2005

We?ve got a problem, that?s true
You think it?s me, well I think it?s you
But before we blow a fuse and go all nuts and lose screws
Let me find some tools I can use
I?m goin? to the do-it-yourself store
?Cause I can?t talk to you anymore
You cry and yell that it?s all gone to hell
Well I?m gonna fix it myself
We need a new door that?s all
I?m tired of talkin? to you through this wall
I?ll get a hatch, I?ll get a flue, long as it gets me through to you
It?ll be worth the trouble to install.
I?m goin? to the do-it-yourself store
?Cause this love sure ain?t workin? no more
Too much cryin? and yellin; and goin? to hell and
I?m gonna fix it myself.
I?ll browse the electric aisle
Pick out a switch that?ll put the light in your smile
If I connect the right cable, maybe we?ll be able
To rekindle those sparks for a while
I?m goin? to the so-it-yourself store
Talkin? to you doesn?t work anymore
Too much cryin? and yellin? and goin? to hell, well
I?m gonna fix it myself.
I?ll try my plumbing luck
Our intakes and valves are corroded and stuck
But with Delta and Moen I?ll get the works flowin?
And wash away all of this muck.
I?m goin? to the do-it-yourself store
They?ve got everything we need and more
Enough cryin? and yellin? and goin? to hell, now
I?m gonna fix it myself.
So many things I could buy
You know I?ll return with my truck piled high, ready to
Kick up some dust, remove rust and build trust
Make this life work for both of us.
I?m gin? to the do-it-yourself store
?Cause this life sure ain?t workin? no more
You can cry, you can yell that it?s all gone to hell, well
I?m gonna fix it myself (2X)
I?m gonna fix it- I can fix anything
So I?m gonna fix it myself.
