Perfect Lyrics
I might never be your knight in shining armour
I might never be the one you take home to mother
And I might never be the one who brings you flowers
But I can be the one, be the one tonight
When I first saw you from across the room
I could tell that you were curious, oh yeah
Girl, I hope you're sure what you're looking for
'Cause I'm not good at making promises
But if you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms
And if you like having secret little rendezvous
If you like to do the things you know that we shouldn't do
Then baby I'm perfect, baby I'm perfect for you
And if you like midnight driving with the windows down
And if you like going places we can't even pronounce
If you like to do whatever you've been dreaming about
Baby you're perfect, baby you're perfect
So let's start right now
I might never be the hand you put your heart in
Or the arms that hold you anytime you want them
That don't mean that we can't live here in the moment
'Cause I can be the one you love from time to time
When I first saw you from across the room
I could tell that you were curious, oh yeah
Girl, I hope you're sure what you're looking for
'Cause I'm not good at making promises
But if you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms
And if you like having secret little rendezvous
If you like to do the things you know that we shouldn't do
Then baby I'm perfect, baby I'm perfect for you
And if you like midnight driving with the windows down
And if you like going places we can't even pronounce
If you like to do whatever you've been dreaming about
Baby you're perfect, baby you're perfect
So let's start right now
And if you like camera's flashing every time we go out, oh yeah
And if you're looking for someone to write your break up songs about
Baby I'm perfect, baby we're perfect
If you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms
And if you like having secret little rendezvous
If you like to do the things you know that we shouldn't do
Then baby I'm perfect, baby I'm perfect for you
And if you like midnight driving with the windows down
And if you like going places we can't even pronounce
If you like to do whatever you've been dreaming about
Baby you're perfect, baby you're perfect
So let's start right now
I might never be the one you take home to mother
And I might never be the one who brings you flowers
But I can be the one, be the one tonight
I could tell that you were curious, oh yeah
Girl, I hope you're sure what you're looking for
'Cause I'm not good at making promises
And if you like having secret little rendezvous
If you like to do the things you know that we shouldn't do
Then baby I'm perfect, baby I'm perfect for you
And if you like midnight driving with the windows down
And if you like going places we can't even pronounce
If you like to do whatever you've been dreaming about
Baby you're perfect, baby you're perfect
So let's start right now
Or the arms that hold you anytime you want them
That don't mean that we can't live here in the moment
'Cause I can be the one you love from time to time
I could tell that you were curious, oh yeah
Girl, I hope you're sure what you're looking for
'Cause I'm not good at making promises
And if you like having secret little rendezvous
If you like to do the things you know that we shouldn't do
Then baby I'm perfect, baby I'm perfect for you
And if you like midnight driving with the windows down
And if you like going places we can't even pronounce
If you like to do whatever you've been dreaming about
Baby you're perfect, baby you're perfect
So let's start right now
And if you're looking for someone to write your break up songs about
Baby I'm perfect, baby we're perfect
And if you like having secret little rendezvous
If you like to do the things you know that we shouldn't do
Then baby I'm perfect, baby I'm perfect for you
And if you like midnight driving with the windows down
And if you like going places we can't even pronounce
If you like to do whatever you've been dreaming about
Baby you're perfect, baby you're perfect
So let's start right now

I think it's about being in a relationship that isn't serious, just for fun. If you want to do fun stuff you're not supposed to do, then the "I" in the song is perfect for you.
I love the lyric: "If you like to do the things you know that we shouldn’t do Baby, I'm perfect Baby, I'm perfect for you"
As long as we don't do the midnight driving while talking on the phone And the places we can't pronounce aren't in the midst of a civil war And the hotel staff doesn't discover a dead body in our room after we check out And those breakup songs are about your breakups with other people And...well, you get the idea Then Mr Narrator baby, I'm perfect for you too!
This is about a friends with benefits situation in my opinion. Maybe because they do not want a relationship, or maybe they are just friends who have sex to quench their thirst for sex.
