Just be perfect... right?


Perfect hair and perfect skin

Perfect style and keeping thin

A judgemental world that we live in

 

Everyday's a fashion show

If there's a flaw they will know

Standards high don't fall below

 

Just one look is all it takes

Before you'r impression makes or breaks

Dubbed as freaks or dubbed as fakes

 

Perfect speech and perfect grammar

Perfect balance of etiquette and glamour

This is what, as a world, we enamor

 

Stand up straight and make yourself able

Never put both elbows on the dinner table

Don't sit too close to the television cable

 

Perfect smile and pearly whites

A goal on which we set our sights

If not then believe that reality bites

 

So just be perfect in every single way

Just be perfect every single day

A perfect balance, cafe au lait
