Perfect
Gamaliel Audrey Cantika Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I might never be your knight in shining armor
I might never be the one take home to mother
And I might never be the one who brings you flowers
But I can be the one, be the one tonight

When I first saw you
From across the room
I could tell that you were curious (Oh, yeah)
Boy, I hope you′re sure
What you're looking for
′Cause I'm not good at making promises

But if you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms
And if you like having secret little rendezvous
If you like to do the things you know that we shouldn't do
Baby, I′m perfect
Baby, I′m perfect for you
And if you like midnight driving with the windows down
And if you like going places we can't even pronounce
If you like to do whatever you′ve been dreaming about
Baby, you're perfect
Baby, you′re perfect.
Let's start right now

I might never be the hand you put your heart in
Or the arms that you hold any time you want them
That don′t mean that we can't live here in the moment
'Cause I can be the one you love from time to time

When I first saw you
From across the room
I could tell that you were curious (Oh, yeah)
Girl, I hope you′re sure
What you′re looking for
Cause I'm not good at making promises

But if you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms
And if you like having secret little rendezvous
If you like to do the things you know that we shouldn′t do
Baby, I'm perfect
Baby, I′m perfect for you
And if you like midnight driving with the windows down
And if you like going places we can't even pronounce
If you like to do whatever you′ve been dreaming about
Baby, you're perfect




Baby, you're perfect
Let′s start right now
