Lovely thing, she's a city girl
So brought up in a town where
There's nowhere to go but down and the song
That came from a voice made a yellow paint picture
Beautiful sound making everyone miss her now
I'm waiting
Though she's too pretty for the nerds
But far too nerdy for the fine, fit, flirty male type
Using transcendental words to swoon her
So she's frozen in between those
Old love saying she's a young heart breaking machine
And it's simple I suppose
She'll make you wanna say
She's perfect for me
She's perfect for me

How can she find honest love when she's so stuck
Can she rely on something like dumb luck
Now, oh how
The problem is this
Hot headed stuck guys reach at her with gifts
So all the nerds are too shy, oh my
It's a lose, at least for the girl who's

Too pretty for the nerds
But far too nerdy for the fine, fit, flirty male type
Using transcendental words to swoon her
So she's frozen in between those
Old love saying she's a young heart breaking machine
And it's simple I suppose
She'll make you wanna say
She's perfect for me, oh
She's perfect for me
That's what you'll wanna say when she comes around
You won't know what to say when she comes around
What is there to say
When you're only bound to wind up falling short
And wishing you had been

Just perfect for the girl who makes you smile
And is so worthwhile and every moment's like a clue
That something's happening to you
And she's looking your way
And you suddenly find a reason to stay
Just pray or whatever you do to make sure
That you don't lose the girl who's

Too pretty for the nerds
But far too nerdy for the fine, fit, flirty male type
Using transcendental words to swoon her
So she's frozen in between those
Old love saying she's a young heart breaking machine
And it's simple I suppose
She'll make you wanna say
She's perfect for me
