Fixer-Upper

My poor old pickup is a long time paid for
But she don’t run the way she used to do
Th’guy I bought her from neglected to tell me
She had been abused
She’s got a lot of heart and decent tires
Too bad the owner was a jerk
It’s not her fault that she’s not what she used to be
She just needs a little work

chorus:
You’re talkin’ to me with your hungry eyes
but I smell a smokin’ gun
I know you’re lonely since she broke your heart, but
I don’t need another one-
I don’t need another fixer upper
I don’t need another one

Had a lover once I gave my heart to
He filled me up, he made me feel so fine
Then the shadows of his past brought rain clouds
Shadows of other times
He couldn’t trust me and he feared my freedom
He didn’t know that he was hurting me
I couldn’t prove that I was not the same as
The one who made the memory

Repeat first chorus

2nd chorus:
Someday the sky will clear and memories leave you
your heart will be your own
Come and see me when the hurt’s healed over
I don’t need another one-
I don’t need another fixer upper
I don’t need another one
