He’s Not Perfect
Verse 1:
He sleeps with a frown on his face
And he watches cartoons yet thinks they’re in bad taste
And yet, and yet
He says that he loves me
And yet, and yet
He’s never been in love
I accuse him of telling me lies
And the fights that we have only kill my insides
And yet, and yet
I can’t get away
And yet, and yet
I’ll have more luck if I stay
But I don’t think it really matters
What I imply
When trying to reason with a one-track mind
Chorus:
Day in, Day out
The nights are long
My comfort’s my song
It answers my Q’s
And hushes my P’s
I just can’t accept that he’s
Not perfect
Verse 2:
I make him his breakfast and lunch
He’s not one of those who goes out to eat brunch
And yet, and yet
He claims that he’s funny
And yet, and yet
The joke is on him
We used to be partners in crime
Leave the pennies to pinchers
And steal all the dimes
And yet, and yet
He’s always sour
And yet, and yet
He’s not ripe to be sweet
But I don’t think it really matters
If I say goodbye
He passes himself off as that kind of guy
(Chorus)
Bridge:
And so I buy duvets and pillows to sleep
I slumber for hours to avoid all the heat
But he’ll walk in just to say that he’s leavin’
But oh, but oh, I know…
But oh, but oh, I know…
He’ll be back
He’ll be back
(Chorus)
