[Verse 1]
I wanna be right, here on the left side, yeah
I'm always reminded, keep it on the inside
I wanna take care not to fall like an empire, yeah
I need you to know, I'm always gonna be right
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want your pity
I don't feel no shame
Time, the years have shifted
And I still feel the same
[Chorus]
I only need perfection
Is that too much to ask?
No change in my reflection, please
You know you can't go back
(I can't help, I can't help it)
[Verse 2]
If you wanna stay young
The fear is always creeping
And if you wanna have fun
You better start believing
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want your pity
I don't feel no shame
Time, the years have shifted
And I still feel the same
[Chorus]
I only need perfection
Is that too much to ask?
No change in my reflection, please
You know you can't go back
I only need perfection
Is that too much to ask?
No change in my reflection, please
You know you can't go back
[Bridge]
Ninety-nine percent
Would never be enough
The vision in my head
The labour of my love
La la la la la la, la la la la la la
(I can't help, I can't help it)
La la la la la la, la la la la la la
(I can't help, I can't help it)
[Chorus]
I only need perfection
Is that too much to ask?
No change in my reflection, please
You know you can't go back
