lyrics

After work, I trudge home slowly
to the setting of the sun;
walk the steps to my apartment
when the light is nearly done.
Enter evening; sofa leaning
I sit absent anyone.
From my perch I see the world.
Nothing escapes me.

As I watch through open window
I can see you 'cross the way
with a boyfriend or a bozo
who has nothing to say.
You are crying.
He is trying to effect a getaway.
In an instant it is clear that you need something...

Let me heal you.
Let me fix you,
make you better than before.
I can help you.
I can make you transform into something more.
Something smarter.
Someone better.
You can leave me, baby, or...
I can fix you.
I can help you
if you let me...
(help you)

You are lovely. You seem lonely.
You could use a helping hand
like the lass who lived there last year
and behaved like a remand.
Just a prisoner in her cell block
looking out from her nightstand.
I did nothing and she's gone. Now,
I can see you.

You're not the only helpless maiden
I have spied from at my seat
but in you I sense a story
of a lifetime of defeat.
What you need is a strong ally
so your demons can be beat.
I can be the one at your side.
Let me solve you.

I can heal you.
I can fix you,
turn you into something new.
Give me days, you'll be replaced
by a far better sort of you.
One who's softer. One who's kinder.
I can transmute you into
a construct of pure perfection.
Let me save you...
(and me)

I don't know you but I know you
if you know what I mean.
I can see you in your bedroom
past that translucent screen.
You so clearly need a savior.
There is no in-between:
I'll be you're hero, make you better
or I'll leave you.

You have the choice so here's your chance:
Tell me what's it gonna be?
Will you let me make the effort
to improve you immensely?
In an hour, with my powers,
you'll be so happy, you'll see.
You've got ten seconds. What's the answer?
Shall I dance off...

or will I heal you?
Can I fix you,
make you better than before?
With my loving and my wisdom
I can open any door.
I'll give you passion, laced with patience.
You can leave me, baby, or...
I can fix you.
I can help you
if you let me...
(help you)
