lyrics

I’m just here sitting pretty looking pretty at the bar waiting for you to pick me up
Waiting for you to take me uptown and see how I look when I’m all lit up
I’m readymade

I’m just barely, I’m just barely, I’m just barely functional
Unless you see something here in me that strikes you as exceptional
Then I’m readymade

I could be obvious and typical
No need to be original
Obvious and typical

I am whatever you take me for, no less no more

It’s not fair, it’s not fair but the lure of bright lights will make me weak in the knee
I can’t wait to see where you put me, can’t wait to see what you make of me
I’m readymade

You’ve got a charm that could melt the coldest glare I ever tried to send your way
I hope I have something to offer you that you’d think twice about throwing away
I’m readymade

I could be obvious and typical
No need to be original
Obvious and typical

I am whatever you take me for, no less no more
