I could tell it from the start (tell it from the start) That you wanted me to be (wanted me to be) A certain kind of girl (a kind of girl) That I know just isn't me (well I know just isn't me)
Well I've gone along this far And I've tried to play the part But now, you'd better listen I haven't got a paint-by-number heart
There are things I've gotta do (things I gotta do) That I've put off much too long (I've put off much too long) I'm tired of always asking (I'm always asking) If those things are right or wrong (if those things are right or wrong)
Well I've got to face the facts Try and make a brand new start now Walk out and don't look back 'Cos I haven't got a paint-by-number heart
Your star is too restricted And your moons are black and grey No matter what I say or do You colour it the wrong way
You're green with envy, red with rage You change from day to day This situation's dangerous I gotta get away
I've tried to shape my life (I shaped my life) So there's room enough for you (room enough for you) Mind if I say you're everything (you're everything) Well now you know it isn't true (well you know it isn't true)
Well I don't know if you'll find a girl To be your piece of art So sad to say it won't be me 'Cos I haven't got a paint-by-number heart
I haven't got a paint-by-number heart I haven't got a paint-by-number heart I haven't got a paint-by-number heart
