I might never be your knight in shining armor I might never be the one you take home to mother And I might never be the one who brings you flowers But I can be the one, be the one tonight When I first saw you From across the room I could tell that you were curious (oh, yeah) Girl, I hope you’re sure What you're looking for 'Cause I'm not good at making promises But if you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms And if you like having secret little rendezvous If you like to do the things you know that we shouldn’t do Then baby, I'm perfect Baby, I'm perfect for you And if you like midnight driving with the windows down And if you like going places we can’t even pronounce If you like to do whatever you've been dreaming about Baby, you're perfect Baby, you're perfect So let's start right now I might never be the hands you put your heart in Or the arms that hold you any time you want them But that don’t mean that we can’t live here in the moment 'Cause I can be the one you love from time to time When I first saw you From across the room I could tell that you were curious (oh, yeah) Girl, I hope you’re sure What you're looking for 'Cause I'm not good at making promises But if you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms And if you like having secret little rendezvous If you like to do the things you know that we shouldn’t do baby, I'm perfect Baby, I'm perfect for you And if you like midnight driving with the windows down And if you like going places we can’t even pronounce If you like to do whatever you've been dreaming about Baby, you're perfect Baby, you're perfect So let's start right now And if you like cameras flashing every time we go out (Oh, yeah) And if you're looking for someone to write your breakup songs about Baby, I'm perfect Baby, we're perfect If you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms And if you like having secret little rendezvous If you like to do the things you know that we shouldn’t do Baby, I'm perfect Baby, I'm perfect for you And if you like midnight driving with the windows down And if you like going places we can’t even pronounce If you like to do whatever you've been dreaming about Baby, you're perfect Baby, you're perfect So let's start right now
