I should be at home, I should be alone
 
 Instead of convincing somebody that I'm gonna call
 
 When the morning comes
 
 I should settle down, make my mama proud
 
 Said she's been wanting grand babies, I've just been practicing how
 
 What?
 
  
  If you wanna dance with me, I'll spin you right around
 
 Hand on your hip and dip you down, down, down
 
 Baby, don't ya fall for me, I'll tell you right now
 
 You're gonna hate me when we hit the ground
 
 Baby, I'm a project, loving me's a mistake
 
 Find another prospect, save yourself the heartbreak
 
 Think you're gonna fix me, think we're making progress
 
 You'll be broken with me somewhere in the process
 
 Baby, I'm a project
  
 
 You should leave me now, take an easy out
 
 If you need persuading, then baby, just ask around
 
 It's a little town
 
 You should think again, listen to your friends
 
 I got more to work on than I would like to admit
 
 Yeah
  
 
 If you wanna dance with me, I'll spin you right around
 
 Hand on your hip and dip you down, down, down
 
 Baby, don't ya fall for me, I'll tell you right now
 
 You're gonna hate me when we hit the ground
 
 Baby, I'm a project, loving me's a mistake
 
 Find another prospect, save yourself the heartbreak
 
 Think you're gonna fix me, think we're making progress
 
 You'll be broken with me somewhere in the process
 
 Baby, I'm a project
  
 
 Now stop, take a look at yourself
 
 Put that fairy tale bullshit back on the shelf
 
 I know you like guys that you think you can help
 
 But I ain't gonna be a notch on your little tool belt
 
 If you're looking for love, you ain't looking for me
 
 If you're lookin' for a good time, hold my drink
 
 We can finish this song, let me find my keys
 
 Go home, get to working on this project
 
 Loving me's a mistake
  
 
 Find another prospect, save yourself the heartbreak
 
 Think you're gonna fix me, think we're making progress
 
 You'll be broken with me somewhere in the process
 
 Baby, I'm a project
