I love you, you're perfect, now change

Melinda Schneider


He met her on a mountain on a trek thru Nepal 
She was pretty and fearless and up for it all 
He was hopelessly smitten, with her fire and her charms 
On a high on those mountains and again in her arms 

Back on terra firma the real world again 
She still drove him crazy still made his head spin 
So he popped the question and they set the date 
And the first thing he said after cutting the cake was 

I love you you're perfect now change 
Just hold still a minute while I rearrange 
Everything that you are to become more like moi 
I love you you're perfect now change 

On their honeymoon morning they had their first spat 
She put on her bikini he said "you're not wearing that" 
So she put on a one piece and swallowed her pride 
And told herself love was about compromise 

He expected his dinner at 6 on the dot 
On a tray on the sofa his favourite spot 
She asked him "how'd you enjoy your ravioli" 
He said "call mum and ask her for her recipe" 

Oh I love you you're perfect now change 
Just hold still a minute while I rearrange you 
To help you become more like my mum I love you you're perfect now change 
He had time to ponder his sorry ways 
As he scraped ravioli from his hair and face 
She fished the car keys from out of her purse 
And said " call me when you've memorised this next verse" 

I love you who's perfect don't change 
No there isn't one thing that I'd re-arrange 
Bout the one that I fell for 
How could I want more 
I love you who's perfect don't change
