Well to be perfectly honest, this ain't workin'
And it's been weighin' heavy on my mind
I know from your perspective
Things are perfectly fine
But girl I'm tired of tryin' to be perfect all the time
I keep my elbows off the table
And keep my clothes up off the floor
I don't let you catch me smokin'
Them old cigarettes anymore
But I'm already missin' the not-so-distant days
When we used to love each other in all those
Imperfect ways
So to be perfectly honest, this ain't workin'
And it's been weighin' heavy on my mind
I know from your perspective
Things are perfectly fine
But girl I'm tired of tryin' to be perfect all the time
Don't you remember dirty dancin'
In the parking lot in the rain
We were wild, we were crazy
And you never did once complain
Even the Good Lord kicked back from time to time
Why don't we turn this watered-down romance
Back into wine
‘Cause to be perfectly honest, this ain't workin'
And it's been weighin' heavy on my mind
Maybe from your perspective
Things are perfectly fine
But girl I'm tired of tryin' to be perfect all the time
Darlin' I just can't be perfect all the time
