lyrics

You deserve a better man.
You deserve a wizened scholar.
You deserve the arborist
who'll make your trees grow taller.

You deserve a Valentine
from a million miles away.
You deserve the sculptor
who'll make you out of clay.

You deserve more than a guitar
with a broken string.
You deserve the pastor
who'll make your churchbells ring.

You deserve wealth.
You deserve pride.
You deserve the electrician
who'll build the lamp on your bedside.

You deserve more than this
petrified piano player's poem.
You deserve the contractor
who will build you your home.

Don't feel inadequate.
Don't feel cold and curled.
You deserve a better man
who will give you the whole world.
