Lyric
I see her layin’ by the poolside every dayShe ain’t got a lot on She ain’t got a lot to sayShe wouldn’t look my wayBut, buddy, what do you expect? I’m just the fix-it-up boy at the apartment complexAnd she’ll go out dancin’ ’bout 7:15Climb into the back of a long limousine I know where she’s goin’ She’s goin’ downtown I’m goin’ downtown too, and take a look aroundShe’s my baby dollShe’s my beauty queen She’s my movie star Best I ever seen I ain’t hooked it up yet But I’m tyin’ hard as I can It’s just a high maintenance woman Don’t want no maintenance manI’m just sittin’ ’round waitin’ on a telephone callAfter water pipe exploded in the living room wall If your washer and dryer need a repair You know the handyman’s waitin’ And he’ll be right thereTwenty-four hoursSeven days a week If it’s gettin’ clogged up or maybe startin’ to leak Just ring up my number, baby, give me a try You know I got all the tools And I can satisfyShe’s my baby dollShe’s my beauty queen She’s my movie star Best I ever seen I ain’t asked her out yet ‘Cause I don’t know if I can You see, a high maintenance woman Don’t want no maintenance manShe’s my baby dollShe’s my beauty queen She’s my movie star Best I ever seen I ain’t hooked it up yet But I’m tryin’ hard as I can It’s just a high maintenance woman Don’t want no maintenance man Ain’t no high maintenance woman Gonna fall for a maintenance man
