Lyrics

On Paper

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I'm not so easy on the eye

It's been said my face can make an onion cry

I mean no harm, but I've got the charm

Of a murdering serial raper

I never get none, and I know why

But there's more to me than meets the eye

The real live me ain’t certified

But I look good on paper

Statistically I'm far above the rest

I do my homework, never have to guess

My social life's an empty wreck

Romance is an alien labor

There are things about me you'll never know

Unless you scratch the surface and look below

My resume is solid gold

I look good on paper

I got straight A's on every test

A perfect credit score

My ledgers never in the red

I look good on paper

I never get none, and I know why

But there’s more to me than meets the eye

If you got the time I'm qualified

I look good on paper

I look good on paper

I look good

On paper

On paper
