The Pursuit Of Happiness - A Villa in Portugal lyrics

I never sought perfection, I loved her for her flaws Someday you've got to do something nice for someone And not wait for the applause I started pluralizing my sentences I guess I skipped a verse The moment I relied on her everything got worse Oh no I could not say She could mean to be so cruel But the proof is on this postcard From a villa in Portugal From a villa in Portugal She had the face of an angel mixed up with gypsy's hands Her emotions blow to pieces, man she doesn't care where they land She was going to a movie, a friend was gonna pick her up She didn't say she was going all the way to the Iberian Peninsula [Chorus] I never sought perfection, I loved her for her flaws So I'm left her to wonder how the spell I was under Is effect without the cause It doesn't take a doctor with tools made to dissect To smell in the air that hangs around here Faith dying of neglect [Chorus]
