It's time that I got myself a nice suit
So that I could look respectable for you
And it's time that I built myself a refuge
So that I could hide away if I so choose
These days it feels that everything is changing
Used to be that every stride, you were standing by my side
But now it feels I'm walking on a tightrope
As I try to balance out how to make you proud
One day I'll be perfect, I'll be so extraordinary
I will shine, I will radiate
One day I'll be perfect, I'll be so extraordinary
I will take your breath away
And you almost don't even recognize me
Saying, “How did you erase all but gorgeous from your face?â€
But don't be scared ‘cause I'll live here forever
Won't you take a venture out, won't you take a venture out of there.
One day I'll be perfect….
The stars will fall from skies above
But I am no prophet of doom
I just thought I'd warn you
It's a service I provide for free to you
They call it love, babe.
One day I'll be perfect….
