[00:00.97] Ne-Yo - Cracks in Mr Perfect
[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
