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
