Perfect (Live at London’s 02 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, 2020) Lyrics

Sometimes is never quite enough
And if you're flawless
Then you'll win my love
Don't forget to win first place
Don't forget to keep that smile on your face

Be a good boy
You gotta try a little harder
You've got to measure up
Make me prouder

How long before you screw it up?
And how many times do I have to tell you to hurry up?
With everything I do for you
Least you could do is keep quiet

Be a good girl
You gotta try a little harder now
"I simply was not good enough
To make us proud"

I'll be through you
Make you what I never was
If you're the best
Then maybe so am I
Compared to him, compared to her
I'm doing this for your own damn good
You'll make up for what I blew
What's the problem?
Why aren't you crying?

Be a good boy
Push a little farther now
That wasn't fast enough
To make us happy
We'll love you just the way you are
If you're perfect
