Perfect I'm Not

Perfect I'm Not

Verse 1

I curse and I lie

I steal and I cheat

I've been trying to change my ways

I'm rude and unfair

I'm crude and insensitive

I'm ignorant and judgemental

Verse 2

I get drunk and abusive

I am disloyal

I'm loud and insincere

I am uncaring and dismissive

I'm greedy and unfaithful

Verse 3

Some say I'm an a-s-s-h-o-l-e

Others say I'm a p-r-i-c-k

I have never taken their statements to heart

I am an opportunist

I want what I don't need

I hurt people intentionally

Chorus 1

Perfect I'm not

But would it make a difference if I was?

I have many flaws and shortcomings

But that's just the tip of the iceberg

Chorus 2

Perfect I'm not

But would it make a difference if I tried to be?

I have many flaws and shortcomings

I know I'm not the only one who does

Chorus 3

Perfect I'm not

And I'm always going to be that way

I have many flaws and shortcomings

Please, show me someone who doesn't

Chorus 4

Perfect I'm not

But that doesn't bother me at all

I have many flaws and shortcomings

I make mistakes day after day
