The Perfect Man Paroles

i felt his more than perfect arms
so slender yet strong
his fine and faultless hands
the right one wore a silver ring
and gave imperious commands
and gave commands

so sure he seemed
so together and complete
like no man i've ever known
i was dazzled
i was thrown by his strong
persuasive style
and his sweet
self-centered smile

i looked up at that perfect man
and everything came clear
we're not what we appear
and not once did i cheat
and look down at his feet
knowing they would be grey
and they
would be
made of
clay
