[Verse]
Some girls like the medical type: "Doctor, I have a pain"
Some sigh for a lawyer guy, those legal briefs drive them insane
Some girls love a uniform, they go for the soldiers and sailors
But what'll start my heart, make me fall apart
Is a room full of smart guys with Martins and Taylors, oh

[Chorus]
You can write the words I like, you can write the tune that lingers
But the way to my heart is through nimble fingers
Yeah, you might think that we're well-matched
But I need love with
Six strings attached

[Verse]
Take me to all the filk cons, baby, take me to the open jam
Drop your D right in front of me, and I might forget just who I am
You can play the horn like Satchmo, show Bing a thing or two about croonin'
A single violin nearly does me in
But there's nothin' like a Gibson in an open tuning, oh

[Chorus]
Oh, you can write the words I like, you can write the tune that lingers
But the way to my heart is through nimble fingers
Yeah, you might think that we're well-matched
But I need love with
Six strings attached
[Bridge]
Now I'm too young for a mid-life crisis
And too old for teen infatuation
But I should never be left to my own devices
Around a cute geek with an Ovation
Let me tell you about my first rock jam
Oooh, what can I say
Guys with guitars on every side
[Spoken:] I don't remember anything else that happened that day

[Verse]
Take me to the cliffs of Dover, stand me at the crossroads too
Wish you were here with your black dog, dear
We'll come together, me and you
Give me a rhythm or lead me on, show me your Marshall stack
I'm a hot little chick who loves a good hot lick
Strap on your dreadnought, keep me coming back
[Spoken:] 'scuse me while I kiss this guy...

[Chorus]
You can write the words I like, you can write the tune that lingers
But the way to my heart is through nimble fingers
Yeah, you might think that we're well-matched
But I need love with
Six strings attached
[Outro]
Yeah, you might think that we're well-matched
But I need love with
Twelve strings attached
Yeah, you might think that we're well-matched
But I need love with
Six strings attached...
