Story Behind The Song

Being in love with somebody who's not perfect

Lyrics

Imperfect

Got up this morning I was late for work
Said you'd wake me up but then you left
Went downstairs and tried to cook some food
Then I saw you forgot to buy some eggs
Went back up and I prepared my shirt
Put it on the bed and saw the stain
Of the wine you spilled on me last night
While we ate that nasty takeout chow mein

You don't always do everything right
But what I feel there's just no way to describe

Chorus
The way you touch my face
The way you look at me
As cute as you can be
My love for you I can't contain
You're part of all my dreams
And any fool can see
There's no other one for me
And even though you're imperfect
I wouldn't want it any other way

You lost my car keys just the other day
I called a taxi and I got ripped off
I wasn't angry at your carelessness
But all along they were in your black coat
Your tennis skirts might be a bit too small
No better way to show those long tanned legs
Not all your outfits are a flawless fit
But it makes all men sit up and beg

I'm not looking for a nine out of ten
I know the feeling and where this all ends

When the cruel winter comes upon us
I know you'll always be there
Maybe our life's not some fairy tale
But you know I'm going nowhere

Repeat Chorus
