I'm never going to be your perfect guy, your fairytale prince. The 'nice young man' you'll bring home to your mother. I might never end up bringing you gifts: chocolate and flowers, jewellery and romantic dates. I doubt you'll be able to place your heart in my hands or be able to curl up in my arms.
We could still live here in the moment though. I can be the perfect guy for you tonight, you could even just love me from time to time. Because when I first saw you across the room, I knew you were curious. And I hope you're sure what you're looking for because I'm not one for promises. Not one for commitment, I don't have the time. I can't afford something serious.
So if you like having secret rendezvous in hotel rooms, or doing the things we know that we shouldn't be doing, then I'm perfect for you. We could drive through the city with the windows down in the dead of night, or take a quick trip to someplace we couldn't even pronounce. You've got dreams, let's make them a reality, and let's start right now.
If you like having your eyes burned by camera flashes every time we're together, or if you're looking to write some breakup songs about someone, then I'm perfect, and we're perfect.
