- Lyrics:

If you don't take me to Paris on a lover's getaway
It's all right, it's all right
If I'd rather wear your t-shirt than a sexy negligee
It's all right, it's all right
Every dinner doesn't have to be candlelit
It's kinda nice to know that it doesn't have to be

Chorus:
Perfect
Baby every little piece of the puzzle
doesn't always fit perfectly
Love can be rough around the edges
Tattered at the seams
Honey, if it's good enough for you
It's good enough for me

If your mother doesn't like the way I treat her baby boy
It's all right, it's all right
If in every wedding picture my daddy looks annoyed
It's all right, it's all right
Don't you know that all the fairy tales tell a lie
Real love and real life doesn't have to be

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
Oh, you don't mind if I show up late for everything
When you lose your cool it's kinda cute to me
Hey, ain't it nice to know that we don't have to be

Repeat Chorus

Oh, It's good enough for me
Yeah, you're good enough for me
Oh, you're good enough for me
