Perfect Now
Louis Tomlinson Lyrics

You say to me your jeans don't fit
You confess to me that you don't feel confident about your appearance.

You don't feel pretty and it's hard to miss
Your lack of confidence is noticeable and understandable.

I wish that you could see my point of view
I want you to understand how beautiful and valuable you are to me.

As someone starin' back at you
I see you as an equal, and I can understand your perspective as well.

One Friday night when we're all out
During a night out with friends,

I turn to you and you're looking down
I notice that you seem sad or upset.

And you don't wanna dance, I know you love to dance
You are too insecure to enjoy doing something you love.

You never stop given half the chance
You have a lot of potential and should embrace it.

Just keep your head up, love, keep your head up
Stay positive and don't let your insecurities hold you back.

Don't hide away, don't ever change
Don't retreat from the world or try to transform yourself to fit in.

Cause everybody's lookin' at you now, my, oh, my
You may feel like everyone is judging you, but you are still attracting attention.

I guess some queens don't need a crown, and I know why
You don't have to be perfect or meet traditional standards of beauty to be amazing.

Even when your tears are falling down, still somehow
Even though you may cry and feel vulnerable, you are still worthy.

You're perfect now
Right now, you are wonderful just the way you are.

Every insecurity, like a neon sign as bright as day
Your insecurities are glaringly obvious and consuming you.

If you knew what you were to me
If you could grasp how important you are to me,

You would never try to hide away
You wouldn't feel like you need to hide or diminish yourself.

You never do but if you asked me to
Although you never ask, if you did,

I'd tell the truth lying next to you
I would be honest with you while lying beside you in bed.

Cause you're the only one, when it's said and done
You are the only person that truly matters to me.

You make me feel like being someone good to you, even at your worst
You bring out the best in me, even in difficult situations.

You steal the scene and it's unrehearsed
You have a natural charisma that is captivating.

Don't you wanna dance, just a little dance?
Don't let your insecurities prevent you from doing something you enjoy.

Cause everybody's lookin' at you now, my, oh, my
As before, you are getting attention whether you want it or not.

I guess some queens don't need a crown, and I know why
Reiterating that perfection or approval from others is not necessary.

Even when your tears are falling down, still somehow
Even when you are upset or vulnerable, you remain valuable.

You're perfect now
Once again, you are perfect as you are.
