Don't tell me any stories if they don't end right
Don't sing me pretty songs if you've forgotten all the lines
Don't tell me that it's raining when the sun's supposed to shine
I just need you to be perfect all the time
Oooooooooo
My standards really aren't so very high
I just need you to be perfect all the time
Can't describe a circle with these crooked lines
Can't create a chorus if it doesn't rhyme
Can't do two times two with just division signs
I just need you to be perfect all the time
Oooooooooo
My standards really aren't so very high
I just need you to be perfect all the time (hey)
Won't forget the way you said you'd love me
Won't let go of memories of how you said it could be
I'll always set my sights that high
And if you want the reason why
Cus I just need you to be perfect all the time (2-3-4)
Oooooooooo
Oooooooooo
My standards really aren't so very high
Cus just need you to be perfect all the time
Cus I need you to be perfect all the time
But hey - nobody is perfect all the time
