Lyrics Todd Rundgren

Todd Rundgren

Piece By Piece

She looks good

But she's not all together right

All the parts are not screwed on tight

There's a touch of tragedy

When she moves

I can see the secret showing through

She'd deny it if she thought I knew

But she could never hide from 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 going to 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

Bringing 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

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 is me)
