Perfect Lyrics by Jay Parish

Test Results: A Songwriter Experiment

2016

You got a little taste of the fame
And it was so intense
Now there’s nothing that you wouldn’t do
To feel that again

‘Cause when their eyes are on you
You really feel like someone special
When their eyes are on you
It takes you to another level

When their eyes are on you
You never felt a love that strong
When their eyes are on you
You know that’s where you belong

Well, you better be perfect
Every time, everywhere
You better be perfect
Who you’re with, what you wear

‘Cause they will find every flaw
Even the ones you never saw
‘Cause when the spotlight’s where you live
Just know the cameras don’t forgive

You better be perfect
Perfect, perfect, perfect

When the gossip’s all about you
You act like you don’t hear
But the truth is every time they say your name
It’s music to your ears

‘Cause when their eyes are on you
You really feel like someone special
When their eyes are on you
It takes you to another level

When their eyes are on you
You never felt a love that strong
When their eyes are on you
You know that’s where you belong

Well, you better be perfect
Every time, everywhere
You better be perfect
Who you’re with, what you wear

‘Cause they will find every flaw
Even the ones you never saw
‘Cause when the spotlight’s where you live
Just know the cameras don’t forgive

You better be perfect
Perfect, perfect, perfect
You better be perfect
Perfect, perfect, perfect

This type of high you could never compare
But el que puede volar también puede caer
This type of high you could never compare
But el que puede volar también puede caer

So you better be perfect
Perfect, perfect, perfect
You better be perfect
Perfect, perfect, perfect

You better be perfect
Perfect, perfect, perfect
You better be perfect
Perfect, perfect, perfect

You better be perfect
Perfect, perfect, perfect
You better be perfect
Perfect, perfect, perfect
