Ne-Yo - Cracks In Mr. Perfect (Album Version)

So after this song You gon' love me for my honesty Or you gon' hate me for being me Yeah, I'm sayin' One of the two is gonna happen With 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 Next thing you know it's 3 in the morning And I've only done one song (one song) 20k on champagne in the club Then 20k more just because That's 40k in 3 hours But everybody watching my section So it's alright (alright) babe, I know it may sound silly to you Truthfully it's silly to me too But that's what makes this song so true 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 in the dimes And they make it so easy so it's hard to do right The image I portray making people judge a book But if they really took the time to look Then they will see the cracks in Mr. Perfect, yeah They will see the cracks in Mr. Perfect, yeah yeah So they will see the cracks in Mr. Perfect, yeah They will see the cracks in Mr. Perfect, yeah I ain't got a condom here, oh no (Oh no) Too lazy to run to the store (And it's cold outside) But you just met her 3 hours ago Says the angel on my shoulder See but the devil he could talk real loud And on my decision I'm not proud (no) But by the grace of God I'm here right now Help being good and 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 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 thankful but I keep running into dimes And they make it so easy so it's hard to do right The image I portray making people judge a book But if they really took the time to look Then they will see the cracks in Mr. Perfect, yeah They will see the cracks in Mr. Perfect, yeah yeah Oh I do a lot of stupid shit Hoping I never have to pay for it It's like I become rather an idiot Every extra million I get I thank God for my family and my crew 'Cause I can be alot to put up with Much love to my people that don't mind The cracks in Mr. Perfect So they will see the cracks in Mr. Perfect, yeah You can see the cracks in Mr. Perfect, yeah yeah You can see the cracks in Mr. Perfect, yeah Said you can see the cracks in Mr. Perfect, yeah And in the end they all learned a valuable lesson Perfection is just glorified opinion When in the grand scheming things it's our imperfections That truly make us perfect So do yourself a favor Find the beauty in your cracks Enjoy the album
