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 in 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?
And 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!
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!...
