You’re looking for perfection

I can see it in your eyes

It’s a shameful misconception baby

I got nothing but time

It’s cynical and unkind

To say that we are blind

You’ve been critical of both our lives

Just open your eyes

Didn’t I do what you wanted

Didn’t I do

Ooh give it to you

Those things you needed

Didn’t I do

Remembering those first nights

We were dreaming of the time

With our family by the fireside

Said we’d give it a try

The loneliness and dark times

The feeling we’re apart

Those timеs we wouldn’t talk about it

Now we’re counting thе cost

Didn’t I do what you wanted

Didn’t I do

Ooh give it to you

Those things you needed

Didn’t I do

Who can say how many hours

We’ll be sharing in this house

You can climb some ivory tower

Of the front steps to your life

Grey streaks of imperfection

The deep increasing lines

The physical inspection

You put me through

Is the proof that I tried

Ooh

What you wanted

Ooh ooh

Those things you needed

Ooh...

Open your eyes

Didn't I do (...ooh)

What you wanted

Didn’t I do (...ooh)

Give it to you

Open your eyes

Didn't I do (...ooh)

Nothing but time
