Perfect Lyrics

Lyrics by Alanis Morissette; music by Glen Ballard and Alanis Morissette 

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 you can do is keep quiet 

Be a good girl 
You've gotta 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 harder now 
That wasn't fast enough 
To make us happy 
We'll love you just the way you are if you're perfect
