She Looks So Perfect Lyrics

Hey, hey X4
Simmer down, simmer down
They say we're too young now to amount to anything else
But look around, we worked too damn hard for this
Just to give it up now
If you don't swim, you'll drown
But don't move, honey

You look so perfect standing there
In my American Apparel underwear
And I know now that I'm so down
Your lipstick stain is a work of art
I got your name tattooed in an arrow heart
And I know now that I'm so down
Hey
Hey, hey X2

Let's get out, let's get out
'Cos this deadbeat town's only here just to keep us down
While I was out I found myself alone just thinking
If I showed up with a plane ticket
And a shiny diamond ring with your name on it
Would you wanna run away too
'Cos all I really want is you

You look so perfect standing there
In my American Apparel underwear
And I know now that I'm so down
I made a mixtape straight out of '94
I got your ripped skinny jeans lying on the floor
And I know now that I'm so down
Hey
Hey, hey X2

You look so perfect standing there
In my American Apparel underwear
And I know now that I'm so down
Hey
Your lipstick stain is a work of art
I got your name tattooed in an arrow heart
And I know now that I'm so down
Hey

Let's get out, let's get out
'Cos this deadbeat town's only here just to keep us down
While I was out I found myself alone just thinking
If I showed up with a plane ticket 
And a shiny diamond ring with your name on it
Would you wanna run away too
'Cos all I really want is you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

People Tend To See This As A Simple Pop Punk Song. They Call It The Under Wear Song, But It Actually Has A Meaning. It's About Self Confidence And Feeling Good About Yourself And Your Body. What Better Way To Say It Than "You Look So Perfect Standing There In My America Apparel Underwear." It Gets Straight To The Point. This Song Actually Has A Meaning, It's Not Another One Of Those Stupid Meaningless Pop Songs.
