Difranco Ani Imperfectly Lyrics

Imperfectly Lyrics

I'm okay
if you get me at a good angle
and you're okay
in the sort of
light
and we don't look
like pages from a magazine
but that's all
right
that's all right
I crashed your pickup truck
and then I had to
drive it back home
I was crying
I was so scared
of what you would
do
of what you would say
but you just started laughing
so I started
laughing along
saying, it looks a little rough
but it runs okay
it
looks a little rough
but it runs good anyway
we get a little further from
perfection
each year on the road
I guess that's what they call
character
I guess that's just the way it goes
better to be dusty than
polished
like some store window mannequin
why don't you tocuh me where
I'm rusty
let me stain your hands
when you're pretty as a picture
they
pound down your door
but I've been offered love
in two dimensions
before
and I know that it's not all
it's made out to be
let's show
them how it's done
let's do it all imperfectly
