Cracks In Mr. Perfect - Ne-Yo
So after this song
You gon' love me for my honesty
Or you gon' hate me for being me
Yeah I'm sayin
One of the two is gonna happen
With 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
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 3 hours
But everybody watching my section
So it's alright babe
I know it may sound silly to you
Truthfully it's silly to me too
But that's what makes
this song so true
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 in the dimes
And they make it so easy so it's
hard to do right
The image I portray making
people judge a book
But if they really
took the time to look
Then they will see the cracks
in mr. perfect
Yeah
They will see the cracks
in mr. perfect
Yeah yeah
So they will see the cracks
in mr. perfect
Yeah
They will see the cracks
in mr. perfect
Yeah
I ain't got a condom here
Oh no
Too lazy to run to the store
And it's cold outside
But you just met her 3 hours ago
Says the angel on my shoulder
See but the devil
he could talk real loud
And on my decision
I'm not proud
But by the grace of
God I'm here right now
Help being good and 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
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 thankful
but I keep running into dimes
And they make it
so easy so it's hard to do right
The image I portray
making people judge a book
But if they really took
the time to look
Then they will see the cracks
in mr. perfect
Yeah
They will see the cracks
in mr. perfect
Yeah yeah
Oh I do a lot of stupid shit
Hoping I never
have to pay for rent
It's like I become rather an idiot
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 my people
that don't mind
The cracks in Mr. Perfect

So they will see the cracks
in mr. perfect
Yeah
You can see the cracks
in mr. perfect
Yeah yeah
You can see the cracks
in mr. perfect
Yeah
Said you can see
the cracks in mr. perfect
Yeah
And in the end they all learned
a valuable lesson
Perfection is just glorified opinion
When in the grand scheming things
it's our imperfections
That truly make us perfect
So do yourself a favor
Find the beauty in your cracks
Enjoy the album
