Cracks In Mrperfect Lyrics - R.e.d. - Ne-yo

After this song, you gon' love me for my honesty 

Or you gon' hate me for being me 

One of the two is gon' happen 

But 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 in 

Next thing you know it's three in the morning and I've only done one song 

20k on champagne in the club, then 20k more just because 

That's 40k in three hours but everybody watching my section 

So it's alright, I know it may sound silly to you 

Truthfully it silly to me too, but that's what makes this song so true 

(Here's the truth) 

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 into dimes 

And they make it so easy so it's hard to do right 

The image I portray you making people judge a book 

But if they really took the time to look 

Then they would see the cracks in Mr. Perfect 

They would see the cracks in Mr. Perfect 

So they would see the cracks in Mr. Perfect 

Ooh they would see the cracks in Mr. Perfect 

I ain't got a condom here, oh no 

And too lazy to run to the store 

But you just met her three hours ago, says the angel on my shoulder 

But the devil he can talk real loud 

And my on decision I'm not proud 

But by the grace of God I'm here right now healthy and getting 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 

(Here's the truth) 

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 into dimes 

And they make it so easy so it's hard to do right 

The image I portray you making people judge a book 

But if they really took the time to look 

Then they would see the cracks in Mr. Perfect 

They would see the cracks in Mr. Perfect 

I do a lot of stupid shit 

Hoping I never have to pay for it 

It's like I've become more of an idiot 

With every extra million I get 

I thank God for my family and my crew cause I can be a lot to put up with 

Much love to the people that don't mind the cracks in Mr. Perfect 

(Now let it marinate) 

They could see the cracks in Mr. Perfect 

Ooh you can see the cracks in Mr. Perfect 

You could see the cracks in Mr. Perfect 

Said you could see the cracks in Mr. Perfect 

And in the end they all learned a valuable lesson 

Perfection, it's just glorified opinion 

When in the grand scheme of things 

It's our imperfections that truly make us perfect 

So do yourself a favor, find the beauty in your cracks
