Perfect

Alanis Morissette · Original Album Series [2012]

Sometimes is never quite enough

If you're flawless, then you'll win my love

Don't forget to win first place

Don't forget to keep that smile on your face...



Be a good boy

Try a little harder

You've got to measure up

And make me prouder

How long before you screw it up?

And how many times do I have to tell you to hurry up?

With everything I do for you

The least you can do is keep quiet



Be a good girl

You've gotta try a little harder

That simply wasn't good enough

To make us proud

I'll live through you

I'll make you what I never was

If you're the best, then maybe so am I

Compared to him, compared to her

I'm doing this for your own damn good

You'll make up for what I blew

What's the problem? Why are you crying?



Be a good boy

Push a little farther now

That wasn't fast enough

To make us happy

We'll love you

Just the way you are

If you're perfect
