Perfect
Crazy/Beautiful Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby keep a little 2 for me
She could be sweet 16, bustin' out at the seams
It's still love in the first degree
When he's at my gate, with a big fat 8
You want to see the smile on my face
And even at my door, with a poor poor 4
'Cause we love our love,
in different sizes
I love her body, especially the lies
Time takes it's toll, but not on the eyes
Promise me this, take me tonight
If he's extra large well I'm in charge
I can work this thing on top
If he's XXL well what the hell
Every penny don't fit the slot
The anorexic chicks, the model 6
They don't hold no weight with me
Well 8 or 9, well that's just fine
But I like to hold something I can see
'Cause we love our love,
in different sizes
I love her body, especially the lies
Time takes it's toll, but not on the eyes
Promise me this, take me tonight
I've bought a watch, to time your beauty
But I've had to fit a second hand
I've bought a calendar, and every month
Is taken up by lover man
'Cause we love our love,
in different sizes
I love her body, especially the lies
Time takes it's toll, but not on the eyes
Promise me this, take me tonight
'Cause we love our love, in different sizes
I love her body, especially the lies
Time takes it's toll, but not on the eyes
Promise me this, take me tonight
The lyrics of "Perfect" by Crazy/Beautiful celebrate the beauty of the imperfect body. The opening line, "she's a perfect 10, but she wears a 12," is a testament to the belief that beauty is not defined by a specific size or shape. The singer suggests that her lover could be a "sweet 16" or wearing an "extra large," but it doesn't matter because their love is strong regardless of their physical appearance. The singer loves her body, flaws and all, and even adores the lies she tells to make herself feel better.
The chorus emphasizes this message of acceptance, stating that "we love our love, in different sizes." The singer takes pride in her ability to "work this thing on top" despite her lover's size, and even prefers a slightly larger partner who she can physically hold onto. She has bought a watch and calendar to measure the time she spends with her lover, an indication of how deeply she values their relationship.
Overall, "Perfect" celebrates the idea that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes and loving yourself and your partner as they are is the true key to happiness.

German Andres Tenorio Martinez
Don't close your eyes
They may not open
What if they open
Would you be alive
Everyone falls
But not everyone rises
Why don't you get up
And rise again for me
What if the world were
A little more perfect
Would you stop crying or
Would you take the leap
What if the world
Were a little more perfect
Would you open your eyes
And blink again for me
What about friendship
What about friends
You said the whole world
Was against you
And it all had to end
What about love
What about family
What about all that
You have to live for
What if the world were
A little more perfect
Would you stop crying or
Would you take the leap
What if the world
Were a little more perfect
Would you open your eyes
And blink again for me
It isn't easy here without you
Why did you leave me
What am I supposed to do
(without you)
What if the world were
A little more perfect
Would you stop crying or
Would you take the leap
What if the world
Were a little more perfect
Would you open your eyes
And blink again for me
