Lyrics
Good on Paper
Words and Music by
Rebecca L. Olivier and Ron Patton
VERSE ONE:
Patty and I write a list,
On a napkin with coffee stains.
It's all the qualities, a guy's gonna need,
If he's gonna blow me away.
Funny, strong, dependable and smart,
Eyes that let me look in his heart.
CHORUS:
He's got to be more than GOOD ON PAPER.
He better hold up in the rain.
He's got to be more than GOOD ON PAPER.
I won't settle till I feel a flame.
VERSE TWO:
What a waste of a new dress,
Such a disappointing date.
He was nice enough, though he didn't say much,
Kept staring at his dinner plate.
Good looks, good job, you'd think the perfect pick.
But man, that was an awful kiss...
CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
Maybe I should start with a blank page.
Cause my heart is my only reliable gauge.
CHORUS:
Ac 2007 Olivier and Patton (ASCAP).
