Fixer Upper
Maia Wilson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What's the issue, dear?
Why are you holding back from such a man?
Is it the clumpy way he walks?

Or the grumpy way he talks?

Or the pear-shaped, square-shaped
Weirdness of his feet?

And though we know he washes well
He always ends up sort of smelly

But you'll never meet a fellow who's as

Sensitive and sweet!
So he's a bit of a fixer-upper
So he's got a few flaws

Like his peculiar reindeer

His thing with the reindeer

That's a little outside of nature's laws!

So he's a bit of a fixer-upper
But this we're certain of
You can fix this fixer-upper
Up with a little bit of love!

Can we please just
Stop talking about this?
We've got a real, actual problem here

I'll say! So tell me, dear
Is it the way that he runs scared?

Or that he's socially impaired?

Or that he only likes to tinkle in the woods, what?!

Are you holding back your
Fondness due to his unmanly blondness?

Or the way he covers
Up that he's the honest goods?

He's just a bit of a fixer-upper
He's got a couple of bugs
His isolation is confirmation
Of his desperation for human hugs
So he's a bit of a fixer-upper
But we know what to do
The way to fix up this fixer-upper
Is to fix him up with you!

Enough! She is engaged
To someone else, okay!

So she's a bit of a fixer-upper

That's a minor thing

Her quote 'engagement' is a flex arrangement

And by the way I don't see no ring!

So she's a bit of a fixer-upper
Her brain's a bit betwixt
Get the fiancé out of the way and
The whole thing will be fixed

We're not sayin' you can change him
'Cause people don't really change
We're only saying that love's a force
That's powerful and strange
People make bad choices if they're mad
Or scared, or stressed
Throw a little love their way

Throw a little love their way

And you'll bring out their best

True love brings out their best!
Everyone's a bit of a fixer-upper
That's what it's all about!

Father!

Sister!

Brother!

We need each other to raise
Us up and round us out
Everyone's a bit of a fixer-upper
But when push comes to shove

The only fixer-upper fixer
That can fix up a fixer-upper is

True! true!
True, true, true!
Love (True love)
Love, love, love, love, love
Love! (True love!)

True

Do you, Anna, take Kristoff to be your troll-fully wedded

Wait, what!?

You're getting married!





Love!

Everyone's a bit of a fixer-upper, but when push comes to shove
We all have our flaws, but in times of adversity, we can overcome them


The only fixer-upper fixer that can fix up a fixer-upper is
The solution to improving someone who has flaws is

Genuine, unconditional love


True love, love, love, love, love, true love
Love that is pure, honest, and devoted


True
This is true and accurate

Wait, what!?
This is a surprised and confused reaction to the marriage proposal

This is the reason for the discussion about love and relationships


Love!
The emotion that unites and strengthens romantic relationships
