If you don't take me to Paris 
On a lover's getaway
It's all right
It's all right
If I'd rather wear your T-shirt
Than a sexy negligee
It's all right
It's all right
Every dinner doesn't have to be candlelit
It's kinda nice to know that it doesn't have to be

[Chorus]
Perfect
Baby every little piece
Of the puzzle doesn't always fit
Perfectly
Love can be rough around the edges 
Tattered at the seams
But honey if it's good enough for you
It's good enough for me

If your mother doesn't like
The way I treat her baby boy
It's all right
It's all right
If in every wedding picture
My daddy looks annoyed
It's all right
It's all right
Don't you knoe that fairy tales tell a lie
Real love and real life doesn't have to be

[Chorus]

You don't mind if I show up late for everthing
And when you lose your cool It's kinda cute to me
Ain't it nice to know that we don't have to be

[Chorus]

It's good enough for me(perfect)
Yeah good enough for me(perfect)
Good enogh for me(perfect)
