colors fit into the lines
each one a number
so it looks just right
can’t go wrong
if you don’t stray
the pattern set
there’s just one way
paint by the numbers
color in the lines
your image of me
is all you want it to be
but it’s not me
when you paint me by number
even after all this time
when you look at me
you see what you want
wish I could hear
what I want you to say
but the pattern set
there’s just one way
paint by the numbers
color in the lines
your image of me
is all you want it to be
but it’s not me
when you paint me by number
