A Perfect Man

[Verse One]
Never was the most perspicuous even though I am a tad suspicious
I’m loyal and protective of what’s right and what’s fair
I can take just as well as I can give guess its the only way I learned to live
It took a lot of heart beats for it to get me there

[Pre-Chorus]
I am someone I am no-one I am great yet I am not
I am poor I am rich I am fine with all I’ve got
I am good rarely bad I am happy I am sad
May not have all that you want but I can be the best you’ve had

[Chorus]
Wasn’t meant to be a Perfect Man
Even though I do the best that I can
Even if I were super man wasn’t meant to be a Perfect Man
I can never be a Perfect Man
Even though I have the best laid plans
Even though I do the best I can – I can never be Perfect

[Verse two]
I hope I don’t come off self righteous at times its hard to put that right touch
I figure I’m anxious just to make my point count
I’m open to all compromises cause all my choices aren’t the wisest
I only want to be of use when problems mount

[Pre-Chorus]

I am someone I am no-one I am great yet I am not
I am poor I am rich I am fine with all I’ve got
I am good rarely bad I am happy I am sad
May not have all that you want but I can be the best you’ve had

[Chorus]
But wasn’t meant to be a Perfect Man
Even though I do the best that I can
Even if I were super man wasn’t meant to be a Perfect Man
I can never be a Perfect Man
Even though I have the best laid plans
Even though I do the best I can – I can never be Perfect
But wasn’t meant to be a Perfect Man
Even though I do the best that I can
Even if I were super man wasn’t meant to be a Perfect Man
I can never be a Perfect Man
Even though I have the best laid plans
Even though I do the best I can – I can never be Perfect

[Bridge]
If you can live with my confession place your head upon my shoulder
Together we can learn the lessons take us thru when we get older

[Chorus]
Wasn’t meant to be a Perfect Man
Even though I do the best that I can
Even if I were super man wasn’t meant to be a Perfect Man
I can never be a Perfect Man
Even though I have the best laid plans
Even though I do the best I can – I can never be Perfect
Wasn’t meant to be a Perfect Man
Even though I do the best that I can
Even if I were super man wasn’t meant to be a Perfect Man
I can never be a Perfect Man
Even though I have the best laid plans
Even though I do the best I can – I can never be Perfect

Factoids:
1. Compared to other songs I’ve co-written with Claude, this one went fairly quick.
2. The main guitar part is comp’d from several takes thru the song.
3. At the time the song was mixed I was beta testing a plugin for noise processing.
4. The first woman to hear it told me it made her cry with envy.
