Repairman Jack, as a real repairman

And I knew when I went
out the door that the moment
to say I'd love you had come
and the words I had begun
to say would never be said
save in the space inside my head.

But in that clarity I can se
I'd just come to fix your TV
and tell you I loved you
in the moment that was true
would have led to a closed door
lost job and fear forevermore.

Even know that I wish I had
Seized the moment, grabbed
Your hand, said: "I love you,
I do, even if you
Have six kids, and our
A couch potato - you're my star."

But the pickup line falls apart:
Cupid it can't reach your heart,
Not only because you're fat
It's never just that, only that
You'd think it was pity
That moved me, not beauty.
