I like who I am 

But I guess you don"t 

I think that I can 

But you think I won't 

Amount to anything at all 



If you love me, 

You sure show it strange 

Is there anything that you would want to change? 

I can't be your paper doll. 



[Chorus:]

I wanna be perfect, 

But I'm me 

I wanna be flawless, 

But you see 

Every little crack 

Every chip, 

Every dent 

Every little mistake, 

I wanna be perfect 

Just like you, 

But there's only so much that a girl can do 

When I look in the mirror, 

It makes sense to me, 

Perfectly 

Perfectly 



I like worn out shoes 

You like high heels, and fantasies 

But I'm what's real 

I guess you could say 

The shoe don't fit 

Maybe I'm from Venus 

You're from mars 

My imperfections are what they are 

I guess one of us must deal, with it 



[Chorus:]

I wanna be perfect, 

But I'm me 

I wanna be flawless, 

But you see 

Every little crack, 

Every chip, 

Every dent, 

Every little mistake, yeah 

I wanna be perfect, 

Just like you 

But there's only so much, 

That a girl can do 

When I look, 

In the mirror, 

What I see, 

Makes sense to me, yeah 

Perfectly 

Oh, perfectly 



I try to fit 

In the mold 

That you make 

But I'm tired of playing 

This little charade 



[Chorus:]

I wanna be perfect, 

But I'm me 

I wanna be flawless, 

But you see 

Every little crack, 

Every chip, 

Every dent, 

Every little mistake, yeah 

I wanna be perfect, 

Just like you 

But there's only so much, 

That a girl can do 

When I look, 

In the mirror, 

What I see 

Makes sense to me, yeah 

Perfectly
