Your smile makes stars shine brighter than mars
On a clear and moonless night
Your smile makes men agnostic born again
But my smile only makes me blind
And you'd be perfect
You'd be perfect
You'd be perfect if you only made me cry
Your smile says "kiss these longing, lonely lips,"
And I am lucky I'm that guy
This would be bliss if I weren't such a masochist
'Cause my smile makes me want to die
And you'd be perfect
You'd be perfect
You'd be perfect if you only made me cry
'Cause when you smile it only makes me happy
And being happy's really not my style
You want to convert me, but pleasure only hurts me
Is it really all that hard to reconcile
That you'd be perfect
You'd be perfect
You'd be perfect if you only made me cry
