Imperfectly

i'm okay

if you get me at a good angle

and you're okay

in the right sort of light

and we don't look

like pages from a magazine

but that's all right

oh babe that's all right



i crashed your pickup truck

and then i had to drive it back home

i was crying

i was so scared

of what you would do

of what you would say

but you just started laughing

so i started laughing along

saying, it looks a little rough

but it runs okay

it looks a little rough

but it runs good anyway



we get a little further from perfection

each year on the road

i think that's called character

i think that's just the way it goes

but it's better to be dusty than polished

like some store window mannequin

why don't you touch me where i'm rusty

let me stain your hands

touch me where i'm rusty

let me



when you're pretty as a picture

they pound down your door

but i've been offered love

in two dimensions before

and i know that it's not all

that it's made out to be

let's show them all how it's done

let's do it all imperfectly

oh let's do it all imperfectly



'cause i'm okay if you get me at a good angle

and you're okay in the right sort of light

we don't look like pages from a magazine

but that's all right

oh babe that's all right

ohh that's all right

that's all right
