Lyrics
Almost Perfect
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Narcissistic anorexic so unstuck but so pretty
I love you
[?] … you're the only truth in this city
Don't ever change
Don't change good champagne for some sad idiot and then complain
That's good advice
But a lady who has two black eyes is not the best one to advise
She's already been told twice
Don't ever change (why oh why oh why oh)
Would you ever change (oh oh oh)
Please don't ever change
You're almost perfect
You're almost perfect
You're almost perfect
Paranoiac drug addicted pornographically afflicted
Sleep with me
Two legs a cock a woman's soul strange how [this lady can?] control
Oooh show them to me
You can hardly see this woman only wants you for your money
You who have not
Come inside my hive where bees are busy making honey
Oooh love is about
Don't ever change (why oh why oh why oh)
Would you ever change (oh oh oh)
Please don't ever change
You're almost perfect
You're almost perfect
You're almost perfect
One two three one two three one two three
Half of half and half of half and half of half and half of that
Artistic repetitious people-phobically suspicious
With an oversized schlong
Unemployable illegal you're a whole film by Don Siegel
Oooh write me a song
[Go?] away and blow away and fade away and the next day
You're back in the line
If love is leaving everything for homelessness and nothing
Ooh you'll be just fine
Don't ever change (why oh why oh why oh)
Would you ever change (the best part of Ohio)
Please don't ever change
You're almost perfect
You're almost perfect
You're almost perfect
