[Intro] Back by popular demand The sequel no one asked for By that one stupid band Some assembly required Just bring your plan [Verse] On an airplane, Delta flight 739 Stewardess says seatbelt as she reaches across my lap to buckle mine In school I was called teacher's pet She'd take the pencil from my hand and correct what I'd forget Guess I've always been this way, easy to groom Always something to adjust, little tweaks to fine-tune But I stay amused Being continuously improved [Chorus] You say I'm perfect, just not quite yet Guess that's why you keep me As your pet project Pet project, [Verse 2] At the grocery store she says don't buy that Too much sugar will make you fat Hands me Coke Zero in a six-pack I put the real thing right back on the rack I might be more than you can handle If you require assistance, check the instruction manual Half in Chinese, the rest is asterisks and emojis But I stay amused Being continuously improved [Chorus] You say I'm perfect, just not quite yet Guess that's why you keep me As your pet project Pet project [Verse] On our anniversary date you gave my annual review Said another year together, here's what we need to improve I give you five stars for your metrics I remain delighted by the excellent customer service Who knew, who knew dating comes with an improvement plan Eventually she renovates the man I know, I know I'm an acquired taste Assembly is required Just not everyone has the tools it takes [Chorus] You say I'm perfect, just not quite yet Guess that's why you keep me As your pet project Some assembly required
