[Intro]
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm

[Verse 1]
I know your favorite song
I hear it every day
Whoever made your smile
Made it to get in my way
And every time you laugh
You make that little sound
It's just the hardest thing
To love you, but not know how

[Pre-Chorus]
So I spend all my nights in the dark and afraid
'Cause I've tried to forget you
But these things just don't go away

[Chorus]
I hate that you're perfect, perfect for me
If I didn't know better, then I would believe
That we were made for each other, but I'd know the truth
You're no good for me, I'm no good for you
And I hate that you're perfect, you're perfect for me
I hate that you're perfect, you're perfect for me

[Verse 2]
What good are words
When they always just get in our way?
And it hurts the most just to know
That you don't feel the same, the same
So sometimes, I get down on my knees
And I pray things will change
But life is what happens when things
They don't work out our way, our way

[Pre-Chorus]
So I spend all my nights in the dark and afraid, hmm
'Cause I've tried to forget you
But these things just don't go away, away

[Chorus]
I hate that you're perfect, perfect for me
If I didn't know better, then I would believe
We were made for each other, but I'd know the truth
You're no good for me, I'm no good for you
And I hate that you're perfect, you're perfect for me (Oh yeah, hey)
I hate that you're perfect, you're perfect for me

Justin Timberlake

Justin Randall Timberlake (born January 31, 1981) is an American singer, songwriter, and actor. Born in Memphis, Tennessee, he appeared on the television shows Star Search and The All-New Mickey Mouse Club as a child. In the late 1990s, Timberlake rose to prominence as one of the two lead vocalists and youngest member of the boy band NSYNC, which eventually became one of the best-selling boy bands of all time.

In 2002, Timberlake released his solo debut, Justified, with some help from The Neptunes and Timbaland on production. Timbaland and Timberlake would continue their collaboration on 2006’s FutueSex/LoveSounds, on which Timbaland produced all but two tracks.
