Chrissie Hynde - Perfect Lover lyrics

I smoke and drink and eat too
Much and other things I shouldn't
That's why I love you lady
I'd like to think I'd never
Touch what other woman wouldn't
You're not like the others

I'm a hotbed of addictions
Contradictions rule my day just like me
I know it's wrong, but the pull's too strong
Lord, help me walk away

I found my perfect lover
But he's only half my age
He was learning how to stand
When I was wearing my first wedding band
I found my perfect lover
But, I'll have to turn the page
But, I want him in my kitchen
Standing on my stage

I talk too much and laugh too laud
Cause suffering and trouble
Like a little girl
I fantasize and criticize
From my house of ash and rubble
I know I've caused great harm
With these jinxes in my head
Keep that gypsy from bed

I found my perfect lover
But he's only half my age
He was learning how to stand
When I was wearing my first wedding band

I found my perfect lover
But, I won't impede his way
His time is tomorrow but mine was yesterday

I want to get to heaven
So I say my prayers at night
I pray my Lord, my soul to keep
I want to paint great pictures
Mix my colors in the daylight oh Jesus
I have sinned and I don't expect a pardon
But keep me from the trees that
Bear fruit beyond my garden
I found my perfect lover
But he's only half my age
He was learning how to stand
When I was wearing my first wedding band

I found my perfect lover
But he'll never share my bed
So I'll keep him in my heart
And in the songs I sing instead
