Checks and Balances (lyrics)

Updated: Jun 20, 2021


~ I'm not perfect, and you are worth it ~

LET'S MAKE THIS WORK


CHORUS I'm not perfect, and you are worth it

We're gonna need some checks and balances to balance this love

[CHECKS AND BALANCES]

We're gonna need some checks and balances to balance this love

[CHECKS AND BALANCE]


RAP 1

Cute smile, check

Short hair, check

When I see her from the back, a brother can’t help but stare, check

She got me working out, looking in the mirror, check

Wearing glasses, but her beauty never looked more clearer, check


But we need balance

You worry too much

You get angry too quick

Is my effort really not enough?


Dwell on the past sometimes

Problems I never rewind

I like to solve it, say we’re sorry then we decline


To rewind the same mistakes

One bad day, all it takes

To lose our stocks and stakes

We play with high stakes


I’m always patient

But when can I speak my mind?

We need time to figure it out

Check all the boxes? How?


Feeling like MJ

all about that three peat

We win and win and win

Come again, our love in deep deep

I am me, even though I’m not good at everything you need

Give me time to learn and grow, you won’t believe what you see


CHORUS 2 I'm not perfect, and you are worth it

We're gonna need some checks and balances to balance this love (2)

I KNOW, I KNOW


RAP 2

Picnic, check

Karaoke, check

Parking lot after hours, that rear view mirror check

Bar hopping, show stopping at the club, check

Billie Jean and I dab, we got the glow, check

Drop dead gorgeous, dressed like a rose

Is that Dolce & Gabbana aroma?

Drunk in Love, feel a buzz even when sober

Give thanks like Thanksgiving, always eat leftovers


If the sun don’t shine tomorrow you are my shine

Is that ok? Your performance stands the test of time

But sometimes your performance is out of line

So I log off, until you choose to get back in line


We walk the line, we online (on the line)

My joint is big, I’m cashing checks

Online fan base, to them I’m indebted

You won’t regret it if you just trust me

My steps are ordered so I’m not alone when you take my lead


CHORUS 2 I'm not perfect [NO I'M NOT AT ALL PERFECT]

And you are worth it [YOU ARE WORTH IT, I KNOW]

We're gonna need some checks and balances to balance this love (2)

I KNOW, I KNOW


Bridge

We can never be perfect

Only the best we can be

Everyday is a lesson and mystery

That’s the meaning of life


There is no such thing as perfect

Only the best we can be

Everyday is a lesson and mystery

That’s the meaning of life


Let’s take our time, no need for speed

If love is blind, I’m doing fine without dirty eyes like these


(I feel complete, just you and me, when I dream...)


CHORUS

I'm not perfect [NO I'M NOT AT ALL PERFECT]

And you are worth it [YOU ARE WORTH IT, I KNOW]

We're gonna need some checks and balances to balance this love

[CHECKS AND BALANCES]

We're gonna need some checks and balances to balance this love

[CHECKS AND BALANCE]
