[00:03.32] |
Artist: Ne-Yo |
[00:04.08] |
Album: R.E.D. |
[00:06.75] |
So after this song |
[00:08.72] |
You gon' love me for my honesty |
[00:11.53] |
Or you gon' hate me for being me |
[00:15.00] |
Yeah, I'm sayin' |
[00:17.92] |
One of the two is gonna happen |
[00:20.35] |
With all that I can be |
[00:23.80] |
Is what I am and who I am |
[00:27.40] |
Chasing women when I should be recording |
[00:30.46] |
Invite a couple then I invite some more |
[00:33.84] |
Next thing you know it's 3 in the morning |
[00:36.32] |
And I've only done one song |
[00:40.12] |
20k on champagne in the club |
[00:43.08] |
Then 20k more just because |
[00:46.32] |
That's 40k in 3 hours |
[00:48.42] |
But everybody watching my section |
[00:51.90] |
So it's alright babe, |
[00:56.74] |
I know it may sound silly to you |
[00:59.00] |
Truthfully it's silly to me too |
[01:01.94] |
But that's what makes this song so true |
[01:05.35] |
I'm a little irresponsible most of the time |
[01:08.46] |
I'm a man of my word but only when I ain't lying |
[01:11.90] |
I say I'm not a hater but I hate to see you shine |
[01:14.96] |
Especially if your shine is outshining mine |
[01:18.24] |
I wanna be faithful but I keep running in the dimes |
[01:21.24] |
And they make it so easy so it's hard to do right |
[01:24.43] |
The image I portray making people judge a book |
[01:27.62] |
But if they really took the time to look |
[01:30.10] |
Then they will see the cracks in mr. perfect |
[01:35.47] |
Yeah |
[01:36.72] |
They will see the cracks in mr. perfect |
[01:41.60] |
Yeah yeah |
[01:42.65] |
So they will see the cracks in mr. perfect |
[01:47.88] |
Yeah |
[01:48.60] |
They will see the cracks in mr. perfect |
[01:54.34] |
Yeah |
[01:56.00] |
I ain't got a condom here |
[01:59.06] |
Too lazy to run to the store |
[02:01.97] |
But you just met her 3 hours ago |
[02:04.63] |
Says the angel on my shoulder |
[02:08.26] |
See but the devil he could talk real loud |
[02:11.80] |
And on my decision I'm not proud |
[02:14.66] |
But by the grace of God I'm here right now |
[02:17.16] |
Help being good and older |
[02:20.31] |
So it's alright |
[02:23.56] |
I know it may sound reckless to you |
[02:27.10] |
Truthfully it's reckless to me too |
[02:30.21] |
But that's what makes this song so true |
[02:33.46] |
I'm a little irresponsible most of the time |
[02:37.02] |
I'm a man of my word but only when I ain't lying |
[02:40.30] |
I say I'm not a hater but I hate to see you shine |
[02:43.46] |
Especially if your shine is outshining mine |
[02:46.55] |
I wanna be thankful but I keep running into dimes |
[02:49.67] |
And they make it so easy so it's hard to do right |
[02:52.87] |
The image I portray making people judge a book |
[02:56.02] |
But if they really took the time to look |
[02:58.31] |
Then they will see the cracks in mr. perfect |
[03:03.78] |
Yeah |
[03:04.52] |
They will see the cracks in mr. perfect |
[03:09.92] |
Yeah yeah |
[03:11.67] |
Oh I do a lot of stupid shit |
[03:16.27] |
Hoping I never have to pay for rent |
[03:20.29] |
It's like I become rather an idiot |
[03:22.57] |
Every extra million I get |
[03:26.43] |
I thank God for my family and my crew |
[03:28.85] |
'Cause I can be a lot to put up with |
[03:32.88] |
Much love to my people that don't mind |
[03:35.57] |
The cracks in Mr. Perfect |
[04:02.34] |
So they will see the cracks in mr. perfect |
[04:06.70] |
Yeah |
[04:07.69] |
You can see the cracks in mr. perfect |
[04:13.43] |
Yeah yeah |
[04:14.31] |
You can see the cracks in mr. perfect |
[04:19.68] |
Yeah |
[04:20.54] |
Said you can see the cracks in mr. perfect |
[04:25.71] |
Yeah |
[04:29.92] |
And in the end they all learned a valuable lesson |
[04:34.73] |
Perfection is just glorified opinion |
[04:39.20] |
When in the grand scheming things |
[04:41.70] |
it's our imperfections |
[04:43.69] |
That truly make us perfect |
[04:47.96] |
So do yourself a favor |
[04:50.15] |
Find the beauty in your cracks |
