Huey Lewis and The News – I Ain't Perfect lyrics

(Bill Gibson/Huey Lewis)

I was gone
I admit it, but baby, so were you
And I was wrong
Sometimes, baby, so are you
I might be less than ideal
But baby, you know I'm for real
I ain't perfect

You got angry
Yes you did, you said I wasn't home
But you're pretending
You know as well as I that I was alone
Baby, I heard what you said
And maybe I don't use my head
But honey, I am what I am
Try to understand
My heart's in your hand
I ain't perfect but I'm perfect for you

People talking
You hear them talking, saying I don't care
But don't you believe them
'Cause only fools believe everything they hear
And if I don't do all I should
That don't mean I'm no good
"Cause honey, I am what I am
Try to understand
My heart's in your hand
I'm not perfect but I'm perfect for you
