Perfect Flaw

To have the perfect life
You'll need the perfect hair
You'll need the perfect shoes
that go with what you wear

You need the perfect smile
To compliment your perfect skin
From the pretty, perfect eyes
To the perfectly pointed chin

You'll have the perfect loyal friends
And you'll tell them what to do
For when you're beautiful and perfect
Then the world is under you

Please cry not my dear
For you have the perfect flaw
You're perfectly imperfect
In body, clothes, and all

Your imperfection is beautiful
I have told you how it is
Because when we learn of ugly
We forget what beauty is
