Lyrics
I don?t know why
I can?t fly
I can?t catch a butterfly
I don?t cook
I don?t dance
I don?t know about romance
But for each
Imperfection
I can teach these words to you
I love you
I love you
I can?t say why
I?m not the richest guy
But I don?t need to try
And don?t be sad
If I?m not the smartest Dad
You?ll say my love always made you glad
I love you
I love you
And for each imperfection
I can teach these words to you
I love you
I love you
Don?t be afraid
My little mermaid
You?re the smartest little girl
Don?t look down
Lose that frown
You?re the prettiest in my world
I love you
I love you
Now don?t you cry
Dry your eyes
You?ll always have this lullaby
