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 



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 

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 

I ain't 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 

That don't mean I'm no good 

"Cause honey, I am what I am 

Try to understand 

My heart's in your hand 

I'm not perfect but I'm perfect for you
