Verse:
Lovely thing, she's a city girl
So brought up
In a town where there's nowhere to go but down
And a song that came from a voice
Made a yellow paint picture
A beautiful sound making everyone miss her now
I'm waiting though

Chorus:
She's too pretty for the nerds
But far too nerdy for the fine fake flirty male type
Using transcendental words to swoon her
So she's frozen in between those old love sayings
She's a young heart-breaking machine
And it's simple I suppose
She'll make you want to say
She's perfect for me
She's perfect for me oh oh oh oh woah oh

Verse:
How can she find all this love when she's so stuck
Can't she rely on something like dumb luck now
Oh how
The problem is this
Hot headed stuck guys reach at her with gifts
While the nerds are too shy oh my
It's a lose
At least for the girl who's
Chorus:
She's too pretty for the nerds
But far too nerdy for the fine fake flirty male type
Using transcendental words to swoon her
So she's frozen in between those old love sayings
She's a young heart-breaking machine
And it's simple I suppose
She'll make you want to say
She's perfect for me oh
She's perfect for me

Bridge:
It's what you want to 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 it's so worthwhile
And every moment's like a clue that something's happening to you
When she's looking your way and you suddenly find a reason to stay
Just pray or whatever you do to make sure you don't lose the girl

Chorus:
Who's too pretty for the nerds
But far too nerdy for the fine fake flirty male type
Using transcendental words to swoon her
So she's frozen in between those old love sayings
She's a young heart-breaking machine
And it's simple I suppose
She'll make you want to say
She's perfect for me
