I was gone, I admit it but baby, so were you and I was wrong
Sometimes, baby, so are you
I might be less than ideal
But baby, you know I'm for real, I ain't perfect

And you got angry
Yes you did, you said I wasn't home
But you're pretending
You know as well as I that I was alone

And baby, I heard what you said
And maybe I don't use my head
But honey, I am what I am
Try to understand, my heart's in your hand

And I, I ain't perfect, no baby
But I'm perfect for you
And I, I ain't perfect, nobody's perfect
But I'm perfect for you

People talking
You hear them talking, saying I don't care
But don't you believe them
'Cause only fools believe everything they hear

And if I don't do all I should
Well, that don't mean, I'm no good
'Cause honey, I am what I am
Try to understand, my heart's in your hand

And I, I ain't perfect, no baby
But I'm perfect for you
And I, I ain't perfect, nobody's perfect
But I'm perfect for you

I, I ain't perfect
But I'm perfect for you
I, I ain't perfect, nobody's perfect
But I'm perfect for you
