Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Hey, are you single?

I'm a matchmaker.

Gimme a call if you wanna meet somebody.

I deserve someone who fulfills all of my criteria.

Nothing over twenty BMI.

I don't want someone who likes cats.

I'm trying to settle.

I promise you're going to marry the love of your life.

How many marriages are you responsible for now, Lucy?

Nine.

If the girl asks for a tall drink of water-

with a salary over five hundred grand.

You deliver.

You're the matchmaker.

You want a drink?

Sure. Coke and beer.

Hey, buddy.

Hi, John.

Definitely didn't expect to run into you tonight.

I missed you.

Yeah. You don't even remember my face.

Lucy M., the eternal bachelorette.

You can do better than me.

My instincts are usually right.

Hi.

Wow. You know how to do the math, don't you?

You are what we call a unicorn,

an impossible fantasy.

How much is this apartment?

Twelve million.

Not gonna marry him, are you?

Why not?

Because he's good looking and rich,

probably doesn't have roommates.

Is that my charger?

When I see your face,

I see wrinkles and children that look like you.

So where does that leave us?

What are you thinking about?

Don't think I'm very good at my job anymore.

We promise them love, but the math doesn't add up.

Why does anyone even get married?

Because they're lonely

and because they're hopeful.

I'm turning forty eight

and I think I need to meet someone more grown.

I have a really beautiful client. She's thirty one.

I wasn't really thinking thirties.
