Ne-Yo - Cracks In Mr. Perfect lyrics

After this song you gon love me for my honesty, or you gon hate me for being me One of the two is gon happen but all that I can be is what I am and who I am Chasing women when I should be recording Invite a couple then I invite some more in Next thing you know it's 3 in the morning and I've only done one song 20k on champagne in the club, then 20k more just because That's 40k in three hours but everybody watching my section So it's alright, I know it may sound silly to you Truthfully it silly to me too, but that's what makes this song so true (Here's the truth) I'm a little irresponsible most of the time I'm a man of my word but only when I ain't lying I say I'm not a hater but I hate to see you shine Especially if your shine is outshining mine I wanna be faithful but I keep running into dimes And they make it so easy so it's hard to do right The image I portray you making people judge a book But if they really took the time to look Then they would see the cracks in Mr. Perfect They would see the cracks in Mr. Perfect So they would see the cracks in Mr. Perfect Ooh they would see the cracks in Mr. Perfect I ain't got a condom here, oh no And too lazy to run to the store But you just met her three hours ago, says the angel on my shoulder But the devil he can talk real loud And my on decision I'm not proud But by the grace of God I'm here right now healthy and getting older So it's alright, I know it may sound reckless to you Truthfully it's reckless to me too, but that's what makes this song so true (Here's the truth) I'm a little irresponsible most of the time I'm a man of my word but only when I ain't lying I say I'm not a hater but I hate to see you shine Especially if your shine is outshining mine I wanna be faithful but I keep running into dimes And they make it so easy so it's hard to do right The image I portray you making people judge a book But if they really took the time to look Then they would see the cracks in Mr. Perfect They would see the cracks in Mr. Perfect I do a lot of stupid sh** Hoping I never have to pay for it It's like I've become more of an idiot With every extra million I get I thank God for my family and my crew cause I can be a lot to put up with Much love to the people that don't mind the cracks in Mr. Perfect (Now let it marinate) They could see the cracks in Mr. Perfect Ooh you can see the cracks in Mr. Perfect You could see the cracks in Mr. Perfect Said you could see the cracks in Mr. Perfect [Talking:] And in the end they all learned a valuable lesson Perfection, it's just glorified opinion When in the grand scheme of things it's our imperfections that truly make us perfect So do yourself a favour, find the beauty in your cracks Enjoy the album
