[Verse 1]
I saw you yesterday
And I heard what you had to say
All those ugly ways you think about me
But I know it's okay
Gonna keep a smile on my face
Hate don't change the way I feel about my inner being

[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I won't let 'em dim my light
And I'm holding my head up high
Even though my exterior
Is not impeccable to you
I don't know if my wrongs is right
But I'm gonna keep living my life
To defame my name and honey
Don't care what they say 'bout me

[Chorus]
Imperfect
That's all that I'll ever be
And God knows that's alright with me
Cause I know there's no one greater and everybody's
Imperfect
When you tryna live in harmony
But the song of life is out of key
Just be perfectly

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
As I look at the TV screen
Internet and magazines
So much insecurity surrounds me
Wish I could change some things
Gotta steal with my self-esteem
Folks so superficial makes it hard to just survive

[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I won't let 'em dim my light
And I'm holding my head up high
Even though my exterior
Is not impeccable to you
I don't know if my wrongs is right
But I'm gonna keep living my life
To defame my name and honey
Don't care what they say 'bout me

[Chorus]
Imperfect
That's all that I'll ever be
And God knows that's alright with me
Cause I know there's no one greater and everybody's
Imperfect
When you tryna live in harmony
But the song of life is out of key
Just be perfectly

[Bridge]
I may not walk like a super model
Or look as flawless as they do
I don't know where you get off judging
Cause I'm imperfect just like you
So I don't care about your status
So I'll swear up to here I've had it
Ain't trying to win no beauty pageant
Cause in my heart is all that matters

[Chorus]
Imperfect
That's all that I'll ever be
And God knows that's alright with me
Cause I know there's no one greater and everybody's
Imperfect
When you tryna live in harmony
But the song of life is out of key
Just be perfectly

[Hook]

[Chorus]

That's all that I'll ever be
And God knows that's alright with me
Cause I know there's no one greater and everybody's
Imperfect
When you tryna live in harmony
But the song of life is out of key
Just be perfectly

Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist.

Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records “Emotions” (1991), “Music Box” (1993), and “Merry Christmas” (1994), Carey was established as Columbia’s highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single “One Sweet Day”, a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history, along with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.
