Perfect

sometimes is never quite enough
if you're flawless, then you'll win my love
don't forget to win first place
don't forget to keep that smile on your face

be a good boy, try a little harder
you've got to measure up and make me prouder

how long before you screw it up
how many times do I have to tell you
to hurry up
with everything I do for you
the least that you can do is keep quiet

be a good girl, you've got to try a little harder
that simply wasn't good enough to make us proud

I'll live through you, I'll make you what I never was
if you're the best then maybe so am I
compared to him, compared to her
I'm doing this for your own damn good
you'll make up for what I blew
what's the problem ... why are you crying

be a good boy, push a little farther now
that wasn't fast enough to make us happy

we'll love you just the way you are if you're
perfect
