I'm (x8) Had we met at a different time we'd be perfect for each other, Now were spending all our time, in this world come together, My heart is aching, from all the love your giving, Were not faking, is this the life were living? I'm not perfect, but i'm perfect for you, Now i'm right on time, I'm not perfect, but i'm perfect for you, I feel right on time, More and more we are together, tryin to discover, I see a flicker in your eye, are you lookin for somethin better? You once told me lying on the ground, but keep goin up and down, yo! I'm not perfect, but i'm perfect for you, Now i'm right on time, I'm not perfect, but i'm perfect for you, I feel right on time, I'm not perfect, but i'm perfect for you, Now i'm right on time, I'm not perfect, but i'm perfect for you, I feel right on time, Why waste it thinkin about it? taste it, Don't waste it thinkin about it, taste it, It really doesn't matter wherever i may go, We're tied together, that's one thing we both know, yo! I'm not perfect, but i'm perfect for you, Now i'm right on time, I'm not perfect, but i'm perfect for you, I feel right on time, I'm not perfect, but i'm perfect for you, Now i'm right on time, I'm not perfect, but i'm perfect for you, I feel right on time, Right on time, i feel on time tonight, i right on time, i feel right on time, Right on time, i feel on time tonight, i right on time, i feel right on time, Right on time, i feel on time tonight, i right on time, now i'm right on time,
