Lyrics[]

[Verse 1]
Grab my glue, grab my paint
Playing Arts & Crafts today
If you're torn, that's okay
Let me sew you up with string
Googly eyes on your face
So you see things differently

[Hook]
You can't cookie-cut the kind of guy I like
I find him in the gutters, oh
If he's damaged then he's just my type
I like it when they stutter, no

[Pre-chorus]
I'm not looking for perfection, I want a challenge
I'm not looking for convention, I want a project

[Chorus]
Whoa-whoa-whoa, arts and crafts
Whoa-whoa-whoa, fixer-upper romance
Whoa-whoa-whoa, arts and crafts
Whoa-whoa-whoa, fixer-upper romance

[Verse 2]
Glitter, rhinestones and lace
Let me decorate your face
I'll erase anything you want

[Hook]
You can't cookie-cut the kind of guy I like
I find him in the gutters, oh
If he's damaged then he's just my type
I like it when they stutter, no

[Pre-chorus]
I'm not looking for perfection, I want a challenge
I'm not looking for convention, I want a project

[Chorus]
Whoa-whoa-whoa, arts and crafts
Whoa-whoa-whoa, fixer-upper romance
Whoa-whoa-whoa, arts and crafts
Whoa-whoa-whoa, fixer-upper romance

[Reprise]
Whoa-whoa-whoa, arts and crafts
Whoa-whoa-whoa, fixer-upper romance
Whoa-whoa-whoa, arts and crafts
Whoa-whoa-whoa, fixer-upper romance
Whoa-whoa-whoa
Whoa-whoa-whoa, fixer-upper romance
Whoa-whoa-whoa, arts and crafts
Whoa-whoa-whoa, fixer-upper romance
