She looks good 
But she's not altogether right 
All her parts are not screwed on tight 
There's a touch of tragedy 

When she moves 
You can see the secret showing through 
She'd deny it if she thought I knew 
But she could never lie to me 

Anyone would think there's nothing wrong, 
She looks so satisfied 
But I've known about her much too long 
She can't conceal what she feels inside 

I'm gonna show her that piece by piece, inch by inch 
I can put her back together again 
I'll supply the love she lacks 
And give her back exactly what she needs 
Bringin' it piece by piece 

All I need 
To find a way around her defense 
Is just a little common sense 
I don't have a strategy 

I'll be there 
Like I have so many other times 
She'll reveal to me a certain sign 
That only I can see 

Anyone would think there's nothing wrong, 
She seems like she's complete 
But it's obvious it's been too long 
Since she believed what she needs is me 

I'm gonna show her that piece by piece, inch by inch 
I can put her back together again 
I'll supply the love she lacks 
And give her back exactly what she needs 
Bringin' it piece by piece 

Anyone would think there's nothing wrong, 
But she's not fooling me 
Everybody wants to lead her on, 
But I believe what she needs is me--what she needs me 

I'm gonna show her that piece by piece, inch by inch 
I can put her back together again 
I'll supply the love she lacks 
And give her back exactly what she needs 
Bringin' it piece by piece
