Ne-Yo - Cracks in Mr Perfect |
| [00:03.32] |
Artist: Ne-Yo |
| [00:04.08] |
Album: R.E.D. |
| [00:06.75] |
So after this song |
| [00:08.72] |
You gon' love me for my honesty |
| [00:11.53] |
Or you gon' hate me for being me |
| [00:15.00] |
Yeah, I'm sayin' |
| [00:17.92] |
One of the two is gonna happen |
| [00:20.35] |
With all that I can be |
| [00:23.80] |
Is what I am and who I am |
| [00:27.40] |
Chasing women when I should be recording |
| [00:30.46] |
Invite a couple then I invite some more |
| [00:33.84] |
Next thing you know it's 3 in the morning |
| [00:36.32] |
And I've only done one song |
| [00:40.12] |
20k on champagne in the club |
| [00:43.08] |
Then 20k more just because |
| [00:46.32] |
That's 40k in 3 hours |
| [00:48.42] |
But everybody watching my section |
| [00:51.90] |
So it's alright babe, |
| [00:56.74] |
I know it may sound silly to you |
| [00:59.00] |
Truthfully it's silly to me too |
| [01:01.94] |
But that's what makes this song so true |
| [01:05.35] |
I'm a little irresponsible most of the time |
| [01:08.46] |
I'm a man of my word but only when I ain't lying |
| [01:11.90] |
I say I'm not a hater but I hate to see you shine |
| [01:14.96] |
Especially if your shine is outshining mine |
| [01:18.24] |
I wanna be faithful but I keep running in the dimes |
| [01:21.24] |
And they make it so easy so it's hard to do right |
| [01:24.43] |
The image I portray making people judge a book |
| [01:27.62] |
But if they really took the time to look |
| [01:30.10] |
Then they will see the cracks in mr. perfect |
| [01:35.47] |
Yeah |
| [01:36.72] |
They will see the cracks in mr. perfect |
| [01:41.60] |
Yeah yeah |
| [01:42.65] |
So they will see the cracks in mr. perfect |
| [01:47.88] |
Yeah |
| [01:48.60] |
They will see the cracks in mr. perfect |
| [01:54.34] |
Yeah |
| [01:56.00] |
I ain't got a condom here |
| [01:59.06] |
Too lazy to run to the store |
| [02:01.97] |
But you just met her 3 hours ago |
| [02:04.63] |
Says the angel on my shoulder |
| [02:08.26] |
See but the devil he could talk real loud |
| [02:11.80] |
And on my decision I'm not proud |
| [02:14.66] |
But by the grace of God I'm here right now |
| [02:17.16] |
Help being good and older |
| [02:20.31] |
So it's alright |
| [02:23.56] |
I know it may sound reckless to you |
| [02:27.10] |
Truthfully it's reckless to me too |
| [02:30.21] |
But that's what makes this song so true |
| [02:33.46] |
I'm a little irresponsible most of the time |
| [02:37.02] |
I'm a man of my word but only when I ain't lying |
| [02:40.30] |
I say I'm not a hater but I hate to see you shine |
| [02:43.46] |
Especially if your shine is outshining mine |
| [02:46.55] |
I wanna be thankful but I keep running into dimes |
| [02:49.67] |
And they make it so easy so it's hard to do right |
| [02:52.87] |
The image I portray making people judge a book |
| [02:56.02] |
But if they really took the time to look |
| [02:58.31] |
Then they will see the cracks in mr. perfect |
| [03:03.78] |
Yeah |
| [03:04.52] |
They will see the cracks in mr. perfect |
| [03:09.92] |
Yeah yeah |
| [03:11.67] |
Oh I do a lot of stupid shit |
| [03:16.27] |
Hoping I never have to pay for rent |
| [03:20.29] |
It's like I become rather an idiot |
| [03:22.57] |
Every extra million I get |
| [03:26.43] |
I thank God for my family and my crew |
| [03:28.85] |
'Cause I can be a lot to put up with |
| [03:32.88] |
Much love to my people that don't mind |
| [03:35.57] |
The cracks in Mr. Perfect |
| [04:02.34] |
So they will see the cracks in mr. perfect |
| [04:06.70] |
Yeah |
| [04:07.69] |
You can see the cracks in mr. perfect |
| [04:13.43] |
Yeah yeah |
| [04:14.31] |
You can see the cracks in mr. perfect |
| [04:19.68] |
Yeah |
| [04:20.54] |
Said you can see the cracks in mr. perfect |
| [04:25.71] |
Yeah |
| [04:29.92] |
And in the end they all learned a valuable lesson |
| [04:34.73] |
Perfection is just glorified opinion |
| [04:39.20] |
When in the grand scheming things |
| [04:41.70] |
it's our imperfections |
| [04:43.69] |
That truly make us perfect |
| [04:47.96] |
So do yourself a favor |
| [04:50.15] |
Find the beauty in your cracks |
