Perfect 10 Lyrics
<b>Paul:</b>
She's a Perfect 10
But she wears a 12
Baby, keep a little 2 for me
She could be sweet 16
Bustin' out of the seams
It's still love in first degree
<b>Jacqui:</b>
When he's at my gate
With a big fat 8
You wanna see the smile on my face
And even at my door
With a poor poor 4
There ain't no man can replace
<b>Both:</b>
'Cause we love our love
In different sizes
I love her body
Especially the lies
Time takes it's toll
But not on the eyes
Promise me this
Take me tonight
<b>Jacqui:</b>
If he's extra large <i>(paul: "that's me")</i>
Well I'm in charge
I can work this thing on top
If he's XXL
Well what the hell
Every penny don't fit the slot
<b>Paul:</b>
All the anorexic chicks
The model 6
They don't hold no weight with me
Well 8 or 9,
Well that's just fine
But I like to hold something I can see
<b>Both:</b>
'Cause we love our love
In different sizes
I love her body
Especially the lies
Time takes it's toll
But not on the eyes
Promise me this
Take me tonight
<b>Paul:</b>
I bought a watch
To time your beauty
But I've had to fit a second hand
<b>Jacqui:</b>
I've bought a calendar
And every month
Is taken up by loverman
<b>Both:</b>
'Cause we love our love
In different sizes
I love her body
Especially the lies
Time takes it's toll
But not on the eyes
Promise me this
Take me tonight

real interesting tidbit: during one of their tours, jacqui just up and quit, so they had to go on without her. paul and another guy from the band did this duet. cool?
How crap is that. where would the comedy value be with a man singing. Oh wait, there it is!
One of the best songs written that tells it like it is,
"If he's XXL Well what the hell Every penny don't fit the slot"
is such a great lyric
If he's extra large Well I'm in charge I can work this thing on top
lmao. larv it.
I'm not a native english speaker and wonder, what the hell are things like "a perfect 10" or "she wears a 12"? Has it a real meaning or is it just nonsense?
JohnnyTrash, "perfect 10" is an expression meaning a very pretty girl (scores 10 out of 10 for attractiveness) and "she wears a 12" is about clothes sizes, girls' dress sizes go 8, 10, 12, 14 etc in the UK. It's a pun, they usually don't translate very well unfortunately.

Uh- size 12 is not "worn my fat people", I'm hastened to add! It's smaller than the British average which is a 16..
@Fifem_x I know I'm a bit late to comment but I grew up in the 80s and the dress sizes have definitely shrunk a size and people got bigger. If you are a size 14 now you would have been a 12 back then. Average dress size back then was 12. 10 was preferred and size 8 for thin pretty people. 6 did not exist and no one would have thought 4 possible! Plus he was probably getting his womens dress size info from his mum/friend who may have lied about her dress size

I think it means she's a perfect size 10, but she wears a size 12 so there's "a little two" left over, space for him to get his hands inside her clothes perhaps.
And a size 12 is not fat, "73" you may be thinking of an American size 12 which is a lot bigger than the British size 12 (the band is British) that they are singing about. A size 12 is often regarded as a highly sought after figure.
@Retrographic perfect 10 just means perfect. Nothing to do with size. It's a score. As in 10 out of 10. Meaning Perfect.

is it me or are the lines
"When he's at my gate, with a big fat 8".. not actually what she says
i have ripped the lyrics off the song to listen and i can hear
"when hes at my game, with a big fat aim."
Btw The lyric is ..When he's at my door, With a four point four.
As in 4.4 like gymnastic scoring.
@ThornyFlower you misheard the lyric, it is as written above:

The meaning, well just as with the previous line expressing her delight at the prospect of a “big fat 8” both refer to penis size. The point being she doesn’t mind if it’s a big fat 8 or a poor poor 4.
