[Ne-Yo, Q - Cracks In Mr. Perfect lyrics]
After this song you gon love
Me for my honesty
Or you gon' hate me for being me
One of the two is gon' happen
But 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 in
Next thing you know it's three 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 three hours but
Everybody watching my section
So it's alright
I know it may sound silly to you
Truthfully it silly to me too
But that's what makes this song so true
(here's the truth)
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 into dimes
And they make it so easy so
It's hard to do right
The image I portray you making
People judge a book
But if they really took the time to look
Then they would see the cracks in Mr perfect
They would see the cracks in Mr perfect
So they would see the cracks in Mr perfect
Ooh they would see the cracks in Mr perfect
I ain't got a condom here, oh no
And too lazy to run to the store
But you just met her three hours ago
Says the angel on my shoulder
But the devil he can talk real loud
And of my decision I'm not proud
But by the grace of god I'm here
Right now healthy and getting 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
(here's the truth)
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 into dimes
And they make it so easy so
It's hard to do right
The image I portray you making
People judge a book
But if they really took the time to look
Then they would see the cracks in Mr perfect
They would see the cracks in Mr perfect
I do a lot of stupid shit
Hoping I never have to pay for it
It's like I've become more of an idiot
With 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 the people that don't
Mind the cracks in Mr perfect
(now let it marinate)
They could see the cracks in Mr perfect
Ooh you can see the cracks in Mr perfect
You could see the cracks in Mr perfect
Said you could see the cracks in Mr perfect
And in the end they all
Learned a valuable lesson
Perfection, it's just glorified opinion
When in the grand scheme of things it's
Our imperfections that truly make us perfect
So do yourself a favour
Find the beauty in your cracks
Enjoy the album
Me for my honesty
Or you gon' hate me for being me
One of the two is gon' happen
But 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 in
Next thing you know it's three in the
Morning and I've only done one song
20k on champagne in the club

That's 40k in three hours but
