PERFECT

​

As far as I can tell you're perfect
And there's no such thing as perfect
So OK, you're not perfect, but still...
Men are supposed to be strong
And women are supposed to be perfect
And you're perfect
As far as I can tell

And I know you shine a different kind of light
When you're not around all of these strangers
When the sun goes down and the moon is at its brightest
I know how an attitude changes
Believe me I do
Still I think you

I think you're perfect
And I know you're not perfect
And that's what's perfect about you

I need to get to the gym so I can get strong
So I can meet a lady who's luscious and long
And we can take pictures by the sea
While the red sun sets so perfectly
But I look into the mirror now and what looks back?
Five-foot nothing with 40 ounce abs
I'll do my work but it might take long
And I can act like a jerk when I don't feel strong

And I know I feel a different kind of right
When I ease up on expectations
When I'm in my underwear by refrigerator light
And I forget about all of my graces
Oh I'm a sight to see
And I gotta work on my core
And I sort of dribble when I pee

And apparently I snore

But I'm perfect
And I know I'm not perfect
And that's what's perfect about me

Perfect messed me up
I'm not gonna lie for so long I just beat myself up
And held myself to where I never could be
And it took a good shrink to point it out to me
And he helped me with my head
And he helped me with my sight
And I'll tell you what he said that turned on my light
He said, if things don't have to be perfect it's a lot easier
For them to be right

And I know we shine a different kind of light
When we realize we're not in danger
Do your work, try to get it right

But take it as an education
We're all still in school
Sit up straight and try not to drool

'Cause you're perfect
And I know you're not perfect
And that's what's perfect about you

'Cause you're perfect
And no, you're not perfect
And that's what's perfect about you
