Perfect
Last night we made love but it wasn’t the same
I felt someone else is trying to stake claim
It didn’t seem to matter that the passion wasn’t there
It didn’t matter much at all and you didn’t seem to care.
I woke up early to plan a romantic day
There were so many things I wanted to say
So I brought out my teddy and the red heels too
A private dance was the plan and it’s all for you, Boo.
I went to the store with you on my mind
I bought chocolate strawberries and a little white wine
Then I went home to start on what I thought would be
The resolution I needed to keep you in love with me.
You called to say that you were running a little late
That call on this day, I did not anticipate
As I sat all alone at a dinner for two
I wondered if it was too late; had I already lost you?
I think about what I could have possibly done
Maybe I loved too weak...maybe I loved too strong
Tell me can she do all the things that I do for you?
Tell me can she make you feel the way I that do?
It’s midnight now and the food’s turned cold
The wine’s warm and bitter and this scene's getting old
I’ve made up my mind, I won’t even cry
I’ll go find the right one; I'll find the perfect guy.
I walked to the door and I didn’t look back
My mind’s made up and nothing’s throwing me off track
I opened the door to find him there on one knee
He held up a ring and he said this to me –
“I know that you think I’ve found someone new
Baby, no other woman can compare to you
I offer this ring and my heart once again
To you my lover, my wife and my friend.”
“I ask you for us and to trust me when I say
That I love you more and more with every passing day
I won’t go looking elsewhere for what I have at home
I need you to understand I’ll never leave you alone.”
The tears started to roll and I said to this man
As he slowly got up and put the ring in my hand
“Perfect is you, baby, perfect is me
Perfect is us; we fit perfectly
Perfection is guaranteed in every single way
Perfect in love is the way we will stay"
