It's time that I got myself a nice suit So that I could look respectable for you And it's time that I built myself a refuge So that I could hide away if I so choose These days it feels that everything is changing Used to be that every stride, you were standing by my side But now it feels I'm walking on a tightrope As I try to balance out how to make you proud One day I'll be perfect, I'll be so extraordinary I will shine, I will radiate One day I'll be perfect, I'll be so extraordinary I will take your breath away And you almost don't even recognize me Saying, "How did you erase all but gorgeous from your face?" But don't be scared 'cause I'll live here forever Won't you take a venture out, won't you take a venture out of there. One day I'll be perfect... The stars will fall from skies above But I am no prophet of doom I just thought I'd warn you It's a service I provide for free to you They call it love, babe. One day I'll be perfect...
