All I want is to be perfect,
So when you need help
With any kind of schoolwork
I’ll one-to-one tutor you
For hours
Until the stars are too impatient
To stay in the clouds..

All I want is to be perfect,
So when you sit on the bleachers
Watching the basketball game
I’ll be the one scoring
Doing fancy crossovers and fadeaways
And you can proudly point at me
Say “Look! My boyfriend!”

All I want is to be perfect
So at the concert
I can pick up the mike
And sing you the most
Heartfelt love song
Announcing proudly
That this song
Is dedicated to you.

All I want is to be perfect
So I can capture your beauty
In a portrait perfectly painted
With every color
Of joy and tears
And hang it up
On my bedroom wall.

All I want is to be perfect
So that I deserve you.
