Not Your Handyman

Inspired By Billy Bragg and a conversation with Frankie Martinelli

I'm Not Your Handyman

This is inspired by a favourite Billy Bragg song "Handyman Blues" for someone special while saying how generally useless I am in every aspect of myself.

โค๏ธ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’–

If you want something doing well,

You Know I'm not the one for you

I can't fix a broken doorbell

Or mend a dodgy kettle fuse

โค๏ธ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’–

I can only give you my words

Send you my love in rhyming lines

You have become my perfect world

Iโ€™ll hold you close in heart and mind

โค๏ธ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’–

I cannot build a cabinet

I almost always make mistakes

But I will always do my best

To send my love to you each day

I will never stop loving you

You have my heart, I will stay true

โค๏ธ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’–
