I should be at home, I should be alone
Instead of convincing somebody that I'm gonna call
When the morning comes
I should settle down, make my mama proud
Said she's been wanting grand babies, I've just been practicing how
What?

If you wanna dance with me, I'll spin you right around
Hand on your hip and dip you down, down, down
Baby, don't ya fall for me, I'll tell you right now
You're gonna hate me when we hit the ground

Baby, I'm a project, loving me's a mistake
Find another prospect, save yourself the heartbreak
Think you're gonna fix me, think we're making progress
You'll be broken with me somewhere in the process
Baby, I'm a project

You should leave me now, take an easy out
If you need persuading, then baby, just ask around
It's a little town
You should think again, listen to your friends
I got more to work on than I would like to admit
Yeah

If you wanna dance with me, I'll spin you right around
Hand on your hip and dip you down, down, down
Baby, don't ya fall for me, I'll tell you right now
You're gonna hate me when we hit the ground

Baby, I'm a project, loving me's a mistake
Find another prospect, save yourself the heartbreak
Think you're gonna fix me, think we're making progress
You'll be broken with me somewhere in the process
Baby, I'm a project

Now stop, take a look at yourself
Put that fairy tale bullshit back on the shelf
I know you like guys that you think you can help
But I ain't gonna be a notch on your little tool belt

If you're looking for love, you ain't looking for me
If you're lookin' for a good time, hold my drink
We can finish this song, let me find my keys
Go home, get to working on this project

Loving me's a mistake
Find another prospect, save yourself the heartbreak
Think you're gonna fix me, think we're making progress
You'll be broken with me somewhere in the process
Baby, I'm a project
