Perfectly Perfect Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You might not think you're a supermodel
But you look like one to me
I'd rather have your picture on my phone
Than on the cover of a magazine
It's hard to think that a girl like you
Could have any insecurities
It's funny how all the things you would change
Are all things that are cute to me
And I know you don't believe me
And you think that I'm a fool
But I don't care

[Chorus]
Maybe
You'll never see in you what I see
The little things you do that make me go crazy
I'm not crazy
You're perfectly perfect to me

[Verse 2]
You brush it off every time I tell you
Your smile lights up the room
And I'm guessing that you don't even notice
That the whole world notices you
You think you're clumsy, I think you're cool
You say you're typical, but I think you rule
Sometimes I wonder if you'll ever believe
That I wrote this song for you
[Chorus]
Maybe
You'll never see in you what I see
The little things you do that make me go crazy
I'm not crazy
You're perfectly perfect
Someday
You're gonna see you're beautiful this way
And that you're always gonna make me go crazy
I'm not crazy
You’re perfectly perfect to me

[Bridge]
You don't have to try
Change a single thing
'Cause just the way you are is sweeter than anything
Maybe I’m a fool, but it’s always been you
‘Cause no one ever makes me smile the way you do

[Chorus]
Maybe
You'll never see in you what I see
The little things you do that make me go crazy
I'm not crazy
You're perfectly perfect
Someday
You're gonna see you're beautiful this way
And that you're always gonna make me go crazy
I'm not crazy
You’re perfectly perfect to me
[Outro]
(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh) Yeah
You're perfectly perfect to me
(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
You're perfectly perfect to me

Genius Annotation

“Perfectly Perfect” is the tenth track off of Simple Plan’s fifth studio album, Taking One for the Team, that released on February 19, 2015. This song was announced to be the third single of the album on September 26, 2016 and the official music video for this song was released on November 29, 2016.

This song is about appreciating and loving a person as whole along with the little things that bother them or they are insecure about that people may not even notice or might find lovely as it is explained by Pierre Bouvier in an interview.

I think most people have a distorted view of themselves. We all obsess about little things that bother us about ourselves, when most people wouldn’t even notice or might actually find them charming.
