A Perfect Life
Santigold
Don't I know what they all want
A perfect Speci-Men, I reel them in at once
Every move I make I flaunt
Get pretty like I mean it, a real debutante
I know I'm surely hot
When they put up a fuss
Get anything I want
I do command applause
Don't mean to turn 'em out
It seems it's just because
It's something that I got
They don't know what it was
But every time I close my eyes
What is it I'm dreaming of?
A perfect life
Wake up I know every time, all doey-eyed
And I think about you
Ooh oh you
Every time I close my eyes
I'm nearer to the day my love
Needs no disguise
I'll chase it 'til the end of time
The perfect life
It can't be without you, ooh
Can't be without you
Wish that I could be upfront
Like an army general, with no nuance
But blooming out here in the sun
A guarded little thing, turns perfect all at once
What is this bug I've caught?
What's it an aching of?
I cover up the spots
I wear it like a glove
Can entertain them all
Create a flawless buzz
But it ain't perfect, not
Until I fall in love
Every time I close my eyes
What is it I'm dreaming of?
A perfect life
Wake up I know every time, all doey-eyed
And I think about you
Ooh oh you
Every time I close my eyes
I'm nearer to the day my love
Needs no disguise
I'll chase it 'til the end of time
The perfect life
It can't be without you, ooh
Can't be without you
All day into the afternoon
I'ma play these tunes
