You Don'T Have To Be Perfect Poem by Kaytlin Ketchum

You say you want me to find someone else
Because you can't keep a girlfriend for anything
Well, honey, you had me for a long time
I didn't care when you acted silly or weird
I didn't mind it because it was all you

I never wanted you to not be yourself
I wanted you not someone else
Your not perfect but I never cared
You are you and that's all I needed
So don't ever doubt yourself

[Chorus]
Your not as strong as you'd like to be
You say you can't keep a girll cause the way you act
Baby, quit putting yourself down like this
Look at what you have, not what you don't
Honey, you don't have to be perfect

My friends say things about you
Don't listen to them, they don't really know you
You may not be like the other guys
But hey, I'm not like the other girls
Just be you, don't let them bring you down

Your not like the jerks I know
Your sweet and kind and not afraid to say your sorry
You can make me laugh at any time
You bring out the child in me
Nobody else can see it but there's more to you than meets the eye

Your not as strong as you'd like to be
You say you can't keep a girl cause the way you act
Baby, quit putting yourself down like this
Look at what you have, not what you don't
Honey, you don't have to be perfect

You probably still don't believe me
Before you'd asked 'ok then tell me what i should be saying'
Well, baby, now I've found my answer
That there's more than what you can see on the outside
Cause on the inside, honey, your perfect to me

You don't need to be stronger
You don't need to change how you act
Cause all the things you may think nonperfect
Maybe you should see through my eyes
Cause I'll always love who you are

Your not as strong as you'd like to be
You say you can't keep a girl cause the way you act
Baby, quit putting yourself down like this
Look at what you have, not what you don't
Honey, you don't have to be perfect

Your not as strong as you'd like to be
You say you can't keep a girl cause the way you act
Baby, quit putting yourself down like this
Look at what you have, not what you don't
Honey, you don't have to be perfect
