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

Oh-oh-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, ooo-oo

Can’t be without you-oo

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

Oh- oh-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, ooo-oo

Can’t be without you-oo
