[Intro]
Oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
[Verse 1]
Caramel complexion
With the sexiest expression
Curly hair and corn rows
Very nice physique in his lovely clothes
He looked at me
I looked at him
He asked me what I was thinking
Because he was so beautiful
I didn't know what to say to him
[Pre-Chorus]
He was what I wanted
Exactly what I needed
He was what I fantasized
He was what I dreamed
And it would be so perfect
If him and me was we
Why couldn't I just tell him my feelings?
We were meant to be
[Chorus]
I spotted him walking in the doorway
Of the restaurant the other day
When I met that perfect man
I didn't speak when I had the chance
I didn't know exactly what to say
At the restaurant the other day
When I met that perfect man
I didn't speak when I had the chance
[Verse 2]
Sexy lips, platinum wrists
Ten tips like he gets manicured
I can't resist those eyes of his
Staring at his lips and then his ears
And his voice is hypnotizing
And his hands were tantalizing
I dismissed what I wished
Without me realizing
[Pre-Chorus]
He was what I wanted
Exactly what I needed
He was what I fantasized
He was what I dreamed
And it would be so perfect
If him and me was we
Why didn't I just tell him my feelings?
We were meant to be
[Chorus]
I spotted him walking in the doorway
Of the restaurant the other day
When I met that perfect man
I didn't speak when I had the chance
I didn't know exactly what to say
At the restaurant the other day
When I met that perfect man
I didn't speak when I had the chance
I spotted him walking in the doorway
Of the restaurant the other day
When I met that perfect man
I didn't speak when I had the chance
I didn't know exactly what to say
At the restaurant the other day
When I met that perfect man
I didn't speak when I had the chance
[Bridge]
All you ladies listening if you ever have the chance
To run into your definition of that perfect man
Don't be blinded by how fine the man is
And miss the chance that might be your last
Make him understand that he's your perfect man
Oh oh oh oh
[Break]
Nana nanana na

[Chorus]
I spotted him walking in the doorway
Of the restaurant the other day
When I met that perfect man
I didn't speak when I had the chance
I didn't know exactly what to say
At the restaurant the other day
When I met that perfect man
I didn't speak when I had the chance
I spotted him walking in the doorway
Of the restaurant the other day
When I met that perfect man
I didn't speak when I had the chance
I didn't know exactly what to say
At the restaurant the other day
When I met that perfect man
I didn't speak when I had the chance
Oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
