Perfect Lover

I smoke and drink and eat too much and other things I shouldn’t
That’s why I love you lady
I’d like to think I’d never touch what other woman wouldn’t
You’re not like the others
I’m a hotbed of addictions, contradictions rule my day
Just like me
I know it’s wrong, but the pull’s too strong
Lord, help me walk away
I found my perfect lover
But he’s only half my age
He was learning how to stand
When I was wearing my first wedding band
I found my perfect lover
But I’ll have to turn the page
But I want him in my kitchen
Standing on my stage
I talk too much and laugh too laud, cause suffering and trouble
Like a little girl
I fantasize and criticize, from my house of ash and rubble
I know I’ve caused great harm, with these jinxes in my head
Keep that gypsy from bed
I found my perfect lover
But he’s only half my age
He was learning how to stand
When I was wearing my first wedding band
I found my perfect lover
But I won’t impede his way
His time is tomorrow
But mine was yesterday
I want to get to heaven, so I say my prayers at night
I pray my Lord, my soul to keep
I want to paint great pictures, mix my colors in the daylight
Oh Jesus, I have sinned and I don’t expect a pardon
But keep me from the trees that bear fruit beyond my garden
I found my perfect lover
But he’s only half my age
He was learning how to stand
When I was wearing my first wedding band
I found my perfect lover
But he’ll never share my bed
So I’ll keep him in my heart
And in the songs I sing instead
