I see you laying by the poolside every day
She ain't got a lot on
She ain't got to say
She wouldn't look my way
But buddy what'd you expect?
I'm just the fix-it-up boy at the apartment complex
And she'll go out dancing 'bout 7:15
Climb into the back of a long limousine
I know where she's going
She's going downtown
I'm going downtown too
And take a look around

[Chorus:]
She's my baby doll
She's my beauty queen
She's my movie star
Best I ever seen
I ain't hooked it up yet
But I'm trying as hard as I can
It's just a high maintenance woman
Don't want no maintenance man

I'm just sitting around
Waitin' on a telephone call
After a water pipe exploded in the living room wall
If your washer and dryer need a repair
You know your handyman's waitin' and he'll be right there there
24 hours, 7 days a week
If it's getting clogged up or maybe starting to leak
Just ring up my number
Baby give me a try
You know I got all the tools and I can satisfy

[Chorus]

Man

[Chorus]

Ain't no high maintenance woman
Gonna fall for a maintenance man
