Don’t call me perfect

I wish I could be that person,

Glamour February 2010

That illuminates your darkest night

I really hope it was all true,

That I truly had it in me

All that you insist to see

                                                         

But why can’t you see babe

The greater you’ll think of me

The bigger fall we’re gonna have

And I just don’t want to disappoint you

So please listen when I tell you

Don’t call me perfect

Don’t think I’m better than I really am

Don’t call me perfect

Don’t raise your expectations

I will let you down

I wish you were right

And I was all that

But babe trust me when I say

The day will come when you’ll see

I’m not half the girl you thought I’d be

And when you say to me, darling

There’s nothing in me you don’t adore

No matter how I try I can’t ignore

That it won’t work if you won’t admit

And I don’t want you to ever quit

But I’m not all that you think I am, so

Don’t call me perfect

Don’t think I’m better than I really am

Don’t call me perfect

Don’t raise your expectations

I will let you down

I know you have good intentions

And I confess I love the trust

And all the passion that you show

But in the end it’s too much pressure

And I don’t feel that I can’t take it

So please I beg you

Don’t call me perfect

Don’t think I’m better than I really am

Don’t call me perfect

Don’t raise your expectations

I will let you down
