Lyrics

I put reminders on my phone
Of my plans throughout my day
But something always comes along to get the way
I’m thinking how could this
Why does this always happen to me?

It’s not a perfect life
We’re not the perfect pair
I’m not that perfect wife
But when you need me I’ll be there

And as long as you’re mine, oh, mine
Baby we’ll be just fine

You caught all the red lights again
But you couldn’t catch a break
It’s like you give all you can
But all they do is take

You’re thinking how could this be
Why does this always happen to me?

You’re not the perfect man
We’re not the perfect pair
We didn’t make the perfect plan
But baby, oh, I know you care

And as long as you’re mine, oh, mine
Baby we’ll be just fine

It’s not a perfect life
We’re not the perfect pair
I’m not that perfect wife
But when you need me I’ll be there

And as long as you’re mine, oh, mine
Baby we’ll be just fine

You know baby I’m not the one
to cut and run
Just ‘cause we’re not having fun

And it strikes me you’re not the one
To up and run
When there’s work to be done

It’s not a perfect life
We’re not the perfect pair
I’m not that perfect wife
But when you need me I’ll be there

And as long as you’re mine, oh, mine
Baby we’ll be just fine

You’re not the perfect man
We’re not the perfect pair
We didn’t make the perfect plan
But baby, oh, I know you care
