Cracks In Mr. Perfect

Ne-Yo - Cracks in Mr Perfect

Artist: Ne-Yo

Album: R.E.D.

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

Too lazy to run to the store

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
