Imperfection
My hair's a wreck
Mascara runs
My feet get dirty
And my skin burns in the sun
My lips, they bleed
But I still sing my songs
It takes me a minute
To admit it when I'm wrong
Pretty is as pretty does
But pretty's not my thing
This is what you get
This is who I am
Take me now or leave me
Anyway you can
Sometimes I trip and fall
But I know where I stand
And if you're thinking 'bout changin' my direction
Don't mess with imperfection
My back is weak
But my will is true
Got good intentions
But I never follow through
I say too much
And don't know when to leave
In case you're looking
That's my heart there on my sleeve
Ego trips and stupid slip ups
I'm a mess but
This is what you get
This is who I am
Take me now or leave me
Anyway you can
Sometimes I trip and fall
But I know where I stand
If you're thinking 'bout changin' my direction
Don't mess with imperfection
Scratched and bruised, a little used
But baby, I work fine
You might call me damaged goods
But I'm one of a kind
My hair's a wreck
No, I'm not perfect
But I'm not the only one
This is what you get
This is who I am
Take me now or leave me
Any way you can
Sometimes I trip and fall
But I know where I stand
And if you're thinking about changin' my direction
Don't mess with imperfection
This is who I am
And if you're thinking about changin' my direction
Don't mess with imperfection
Mascara runs
My feet get dirty
And my skin burns in the sun
My lips, they bleed
But I still sing my songs
It takes me a minute
To admit it when I'm wrong
Pretty is as pretty does
But pretty's not my thing
This is what you get
This is who I am
Take me now or leave me
Anyway you can
Sometimes I trip and fall
But I know where I stand
And if you're thinking 'bout changin' my direction
Don't mess with imperfection
My back is weak
But my will is true
Got good intentions
But I never follow through
I say too much
And don't know when to leave
In case you're looking
That's my heart there on my sleeve
Ego trips and stupid slip ups
I'm a mess but
This is what you get
This is who I am
Take me now or leave me
Anyway you can
Sometimes I trip and fall
But I know where I stand
If you're thinking 'bout changin' my direction
Don't mess with imperfection
Scratched and bruised, a little used
But baby, I work fine
You might call me damaged goods
But I'm one of a kind
My hair's a wreck
No, I'm not perfect
But I'm not the only one
This is what you get
This is who I am
Take me now or leave me
Any way you can
Sometimes I trip and fall
But I know where I stand
And if you're thinking about changin' my direction
Don't mess with imperfection
This is who I am
And if you're thinking about changin' my direction
Don't mess with imperfection
