Perfect
Selena Gomez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kiss me, but your kiss don't taste the same
Is it real or am I going out of my mind?
Curious 'bout the company that you keep
'Cause I hear you talking 'bout her in your sleep
And now you've got me talking 'bout her in mine
Ooh, and I bet she has it all
And I bet she's got that touch
Makes you fall in love, like you, like you
I can taste her lipstick and see her laying across your chest
I can feel the distance every time you remember her fingertips
Maybe I should be more like her
Maybe I should be more like her
I can taste her lipstick, it's like I'm kissing her, too
And she's perfect
And she's perfect
How does she touch you? Can I try it, too?
I know you're twisted, but baby, I'm twisted, too
I wanna know how she could make a man lose his mind
Oh, with the smell of her perfume
I could love her, too, like you, like you
And I can almost hear her laugh
Curving on her back for you, for you
I can taste her lipstick and see her laying across your chest
I can feel the distance every time you remember her fingertips
Maybe I should be more like her
Maybe I should be more like her
I can taste her lipstick, it's like I'm kissing her, too
And she's perfect
I can see her body rushing into you
Crashing on your skin
Burning within, burning so deep, deep
On your skin, skin next to me
She's crashing on your skin
Settling in, burning so deep, deep
On your skin, skin while you're sleeping
I can taste her lipstick and see her laying across your chest
I can feel the distance every time you remember her fingertips
Maybe I should be more like her
Maybe I should be more like her
I can taste her lipstick, it's like I'm kissing her, too
And she's perfect
In "Perfect," Selena Gomez opens up about a relationship that isn't quite what it seems. The song starts off with the singer noticing that her partner's "inflection" changes when he says her name, and his kisses "don't taste the same." She's curious about the other woman in his life and admits to being jealous of her, wondering what makes her so special. The verses are interspersed with the recurring chorus, where Selena sings about the other woman's supposed perfections — she's beautiful, has that special touch, the perfect laugh, and that incredible perfume. The song reaches a crescendo when she imagines the other woman right beside her beau, with Selena almost feeling like she's kissing her too.
This song is about the singer feeling insecure about herself when compared to another woman. She imagines that her partner's ex-girlfriend is perfect and tries to mimic her in an attempt to keep him interested. This song isn't just about self-doubt but also about the vulnerability and fears that come with being in relationships.
