Lyrics

Perfect

You're not trying to change me Even though I'm crazy

When it's all too much then you take me home Wearing no make-up think I'm beautiful And when I'm all messed up, you let me be me

There's always gonna be somebody smarter Someone prettier who works a litte harder Someone that who ain't afraid to take it farther And everytime I feel like I ain't really worth it Then you say I'm perfect I know there's always gonna be somebody better Someone easier who's got it all together And everytime I feel like I ain't really worth it Then you say I'm perfect

Then you say I'm perfect Then you say I'm perfect

I know you never judge me When I make it hard to love me

When it's all too much then you take me home Wearing no make-up think I'm beautiful And when I'm all messed up, you let me be me

There's always gonna be somebody smarter Someone prettier who works a litte harder Someone that who ain't afraid to take it farther And everytime I feel like I ain't really worth it Then you say i'm perfect I know there's always gonna be somebody better Someone easier who's got it all together And everytime I feel like I ain't really worth it Then you say I'm perfect

Then you say I'm perfect Then you say I'm perfect Then you say I'm perfect

There's always gonna be somebody smarter Someone prettier who works a litte harder Someone that who ain't afraid to take it farther And everytime I feel like I ain't really worth it Then you say I'm perfect I know there's always gonna be somebody better Someone easier who's got it all together And everytime I feel like I ain't really worth it Then you say I'm perfect

Then you say I'm perfect You say, you say, you say, you Oh you say I'm perfect (yeah) Then you say I'm perfect Ooh, ooh Then you say I'm perfect
