lyrics

SHE’S THE ICING ON MY CAKE
SHE’S MY VERY BEST MISTAKE
EVERY DAY IS THE BEST DAY YET
THE CHANCE I TOOK THAT I’LL NEVER REGRET
AND SHE SINGS LIKE A BEAUTIFUL BIRD
BUT WHEN SHE SQUAWKS, I CAN’T GET IN A WORD
IT’S PERFECT, NEAR PERFECT

I CAUGHT HIM TALKIN’ IN HIS SLEEP
ABOUT THE KINDA THINGS I CAN’T REPEAT
WELL, I COULD WRITE A BOOK
ABOUT ALL THE BAD ADVICE HE TOOK
BUT THEN HE SAYS SOMETHING SWEET
ABOUT THE KINDA THINGS I CAN’T REPEAT
IT’S PERFECT, NEAR PERFECT

PERFECT IS A FOUR-LETTER WORD
LIFE IS A BEAUTIFUL MESS
I KNOW THAT IT MIGHT SOUND ABSURD
THE HARDER YOU TRY, THE HARDER IT GETS

WE’RE ALWAYS FIFTEEN MINUTES LATE ON THE DOT
THERE’S ALWAYS SOMETHIN’ THAT WE FORGOT
YOU COULDN’T MAKE THIS STUFF UP
RIGHT OR WRONG BUT REALLY WHO CARES WHAT PEOPLE THINK
I WOULDN’T CHANGE A DOG GONE THINGS
IT’S PERFECT, NEAR PERFECT

WE’RE ALWAYS FIFTEEN MINUTES LATE ON THE DOT
THERE’S ALWAYS SOMETHIN’ THAT WE FORGOT
YOU COULDN’T MAKE THIS STUFF UP
RIGHT OR WRONG BUT REALLY WHO CARES WHAT PEOPLE THINK
I WOULDN’T CHANGE A DOG GONE THINGS
IT’S PERFECT, NEAR PERFECT
