I've got to smile honestly
A good night's rest with eight hours sleep
Look your best with good hygiene
Keep your teeth nice and clean
Back yourself but modestly
Show your friends empathy
Make more time for family
Go somewhere you've never been

I've come to my senses
Life's not easy
It leaves you guessing
Just keep breathing

I've got to be the perfect me
I've got to be the perfect me
I've got to be the perfect me
I've got to be the perfect me

To be true and direct
It's as hard as you'd suspect
Is that cynicism I detect?
Or my lyricism I detest?
Wait, I've three more things to say
You've got to learn from your mistakes
Over time you will change
No one leaves here unscathed

I've come to my senses
Life's not easy
It leaves you guessing
Just keep breathing

I've got to be the perfect me
I've got to be the perfect me
I've got to be the perfect me
I've got to be the perfect me

I get by with my pilot light bright
I'm my own worst enemy
Half the time
Half the time

I've come to my senses
Life's not easy
It leaves you guessing
Just keep breathing

I've got to be the perfect me
I've got to be the perfect me
I've got to be the perfect me
I've got to be the perfect me
I've got to be the perfect me
I've got to be the perfect me
I've got to be the perfect me
I've got to be the perfect me
