fix it up

Some see a disaster, you see an opportunity
 A little rough around the edges, but still something you can keep
 A precious little treasure made of rhinestones and scrap
 For the protection of the public, now the last guy burned the map
 She's your lady she just wanders out at night
 Oh you wake up in the morning and your wallet's feeling light
 But ah she's your lady, yeah she's a pearl
 You couldn't give her up for the whole damn world
 Well now, poor little man, you just love your fix upper girl
 Bottom of the barrel is where she does her fishin' these days
 All those drugs make it hard now for him to get away
 He's not sneakin' off, cause he's too busy noddin' out
 Oh, it's so much easier to keep track of him that way, anyhow
 Lord, he's going to get better, everyone knows that, of course
 He's doin' the best he can now with that habit to support
 But oh, poor little lady, now, yo'll never understand
 Why you can't get up from under with that anchor in your hand
 Well now, poor little baby, you just love your fix upper man
 (No one knows why though...)
 Well, she's an artist so you just wouldn't understand
 Why she doesn't seem to give ya now, a good god damn
 She wants to hold the word down in the palm of her hand
 You ain't the answer to the riddle
 You're just a small part of the plan
 She won't tell you what you did wrong,
 She won't tell you what you did right
 You're always paranoid, now so you never sleep at night
 But oh, she's your angel, yeah she's a pearl
 You couldn't give her up for the whole damn world
 Well now, poor little man, you just love your fix upper girl
 He was captain of the football team, and head of his class
 All them dreams done drifted to that distant past
 Singing' lounge songs under them disco lights
 He's like a walking pharmacy now, but his hair looks just right
 Got a friend who helps him out with money now, but no one knows why
 He's always got that lost look in his one good eye
 But oh, poor little lady now, you'll never understand
 Why you can't get up from under with that anchor in your hand
 Well now, poor little baby, you just love your fix upper
 Poor little lady, you just love your fix upper
 Poor little lady, you just love your fix upper man
