Perfect

Alanis Morissette / Glen Ballard

Sometimes is never quite enough
If you're flawless, then you'll win my love
Don't forget to win first place
Don't forget to keep that smile on your face

Be a good boy
Try a little harder
You've got to measure up
Make me prouder

How long before you screw it up?
And how many times do I have to tell you to hurry up?
With everything I do for you
The least you can do is keep quiet

Be a good girl
You gotta try a little harder
That simply wasn't good enough
To make us proud

I'll live through you, I'll make you what I never was
If you're the best, then maybe so am I
Compared to him, compared to her
I'm doing this for your own damn good
You'll make up for what I blew
What's the problem?
Why are you crying?

Be a good boy
Push a little farther now
That wasn't fast enough
To make us happy
We'll love you just the way you are
If you're perfect
