Perfection in Imperfection

Lord, she's so beautiful,

but she's still my friend

I've done everything I can

to keep her safe from other men

Which isn't saying much

because this girl's so smart,

but what I've tried to save

is the innocence of her heart

With every bad man in her life

I just try to remain the same

because I've worked so hard

to have such a good name

and be someone that's reliable,

someone that she can trust,

but on my side of the coin

it's more than just lust

I throw her off my scent

by mentioning other girls

Little does she know

that she encompasses my world

How can she not know

that she's what I envision

when I think of the perfect woman

and provide the description?

**** any girl alive

that doesn't think they're beautiful!

Their heads are in the clouds

and their world's in cubicles

One day very soon here

I'll help her open her eyes

and maybe she'll realize

she's known the perfect guy
