A Not So Perfect Blind Date
no, I’m not perfect,
just a man finding his way
but took a wrong turn
no, I’m not perfect,
and I never claimed to be -
bloody good guess though
no, I’m not perfect
but I can see the scars where
your horns used to be
no, I’m not perfect
but you know what else I’m not?
I’m not barking mad
no, I’m not perfect,
and Ken and Barbie we ain’t -
you’re a Chucky doll
no, I’m not perfect
but together we could be -
yeah a perfect storm
no, I’m not perfect
but there's a diff’rence between
perfect and awesome
no, I’m not perfect
but I think you need a drink…
boiled bat’s blood perhaps
no, I’m not perfect
but neither am I a rude
narcissistic bit*h
no, I'm not perfect
but girl you sure as hell ain't
on my to-do list

and I’m sorry I’m not your
Mr Right. Cheque please!
